Genuine LSI 9201-16i 6Gbps 16-lane SAS HBA P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID
Listed for sale is a genuine LSI 9201-16i 16-lane SAS host bus adapter card that I flashed to latest IT mode firmware for use with ZFS. It has been flashed to Avago / LSI 9201-16e IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00). I also flashed the LSI/Avago MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM version 07.39.02.00 and UEFI 07.27.01.01 so that it is easier to access the controller's ROM without booting an OS.
- LSI Avago IT mode firmware version P20 (20.00.07.00)
- MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM flashed version 07.39.02.00
- MPTSAS2 UEFI ROM flashed version 07.27.01.01
- Original SAS address preserved
- 4x internal SFF-8087 ports
These are based on the LSI SAS2116 SAS controller chipset and supports PCI-E 2.0 specifications with x8 lanes and 6Gbps SAS/SATA technology. The controller has 4x SFF-8087 internal connectors, each carrying 4 SAS lanes. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your HDDs or backplane.

Why buy from the Art of Server?
- I can provide technical support if you have problems
- I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit.
- I ship fast, usually same or next business day!
- I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. (sorry, I can't link per policy)
- I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube.
- I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc.
- I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed.
- I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! :-)
- I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts.
- I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm?
Who is the Art of Server? I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on to help others with their server build? Since then, I've also added other "interesting" items to my store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. :-)
