As an experiment, I was able to flash my SAS 6/iR to IT mode, which doesn't mean anyone in this forum would recommend it. It depends on the chipset. The SAS 6/iR has an LSI chipset, but it's an old card with a 2TB drive limit and I have no reason to use it other than being too lazy to switch it out.I'll do a Google search and see if I can flash this card but if not is there a recommendation?
The IBM M1015 (or equivalent) is a favorite here.
Surely you're not proposing using a HW RAID controller next time around? If so, you're missing the point, and should take a look at the basic hardware recommendations.Or just wait until I get a different server and use the HW RAID?
