Back in May of this year, I bought LSI Mega 9240-8i SAS SATA LSI00200 8-port Server RAID Controller Card from an ebay seller in China. Tha card arrived fairly quickly, and I flashed it to IT mode once installed. It has been working as it should as I have 8 drives connected to it which do 600mbs transfers, according to the FreeNAS security run report.
Shortly after recieving it, I did wonder if it was a fake card after I read something about that. I contacted Avagotech, about it , and believe it or not, have just received a reply from them. After I sent them 2 pics of front and back of the card they informed me that one of the numbers on the card is not a valid one, as they tell me part number L3-25083-13 does not exist at all. So it could be fake, but Avagotech have not yet confirmed that.
