Hello,
Just received this motherboard to use in a second freNAS home build, and see its recommended in many threads that the controller should be flashed into its "dumber" IT mode to prevent possible conflicts with zfs, so downloaded the latest firmware from the SuperMicro ftp site: PH20.00.07.00-IT.zip. Since most of the threads on flashing the controller were from two to three years ago, want to verify flashing to IT mode is still recommended for this SuperMicro motherboard when using the latest stable download version of freeNAS.
Thanks,
