Flashed H200 Supported Number of Drives

[Mirfster]

Since the Dell H200 is basically a re-branded LSI 9211-8i; when it is flashed to LSI IT Mode does that increase the number of physical drives that can be attached?

Per Dell's Site (http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/04/campaigns/dell-raid-controllers), it states that the PERC H200 Integrated/Adapter has a Max Drive Support of 16

Per LSI (Avago) Website (http://www.avagotech.com/products/server-storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9211-8i) the adapter can support up to 256 devices

Anyone running more than 16 drives on one of the H200s that has been flashed?

M1015s are also said to only support 16 drives, but people have run 24+ drives on crossflashed M1015s.

Nice. Might try to find time to just connect another system with 12 drives (varying sizes) and just check if they are all seen.

Thanks for the feedback.
