TechMed Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi all, Any chance anyone has experience with flashing an LSI 9266-8i to being a JBOD card? I have googled until I've just about worn the letters off my keyboard and cannot find a straightforward answer. Thanks in advance fora any directions! Quote Link to comment
Michael_P Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Here's a guy that flashed a 2208 with the FW for a 2308 with IT mode, seems to have worked but YMMV http://mywiredhouse.net/blog/flashing-lsi-2208-firmware-use-hba/ Quote Link to comment
TechMed Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Cool! Thanks @Michael_P, I will give it a read. I realize this card was really not meant to be in IT mode, but... 🔨 Quote Link to comment

Merkas Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just ended up with the same card. Did anyone have any luck flashing to IT mode? Quote Link to comment
TechMed Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Sorry no. I fooled with it for a few hours and decided "my time" was worth more than the cost of an approved card. I bought a couple of these "Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02)" from this guy on ebay. I think he is shipping them in from China and reselling them here in the U.S. Regardless, they are working great and I have worked them hard on a few occasions. Here is the link to the cards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LSI-SAS-9311-8I-PCI-E-TO-12Gb-s-SAS-Host-Bus-Adapter-3-0-SATA-SAS-US-seller/132573448468?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 If your drives can handle the speed, it is fast! I know there are some instructions earlier in the post that may help, but i just did not have the patience at the time and did not want to brick it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment
