The 9341-8i is a RAID controller; please see

What's all the noise about HBAs, and why can't I use a RAID controller?

1) An HBA is a Host Bus Adapter. This is a controller that allows SAS and SATA devices to be attached to, and communicate directly with, a server. RAID controllers typically aggregate several disks into a Virtual Disk abstraction of some sort...

You may be able to use it if you can crossflash it to an LSI 9300 in IT mode, otherwise, it is not expected to work reliably (or maybe even at all).

LSI 9300-xx Firmware Update

Hey Community, If you are using an LSI 9300 HBA with FreeNAS or the soon-to-be TrueNAS CORE, you may experience some performance issues causing the controller to reset when using SATA HDDs. After working with Broadcom, we’ve come up with a...

1. First, download the firmware .zip file included by clicking the orange download button in the upper right corner of this resource.

2. Unzip the .zip file and go to the newly created firmware directory

3. Copy SAS9300_xx_IT.bin

4. cd to the directory you copied the firmware file

5. Run this command: sas3flash -o -f SAS9300_xx_IT.bin

sorry for my stupidity but where i can run this command? I think i need someone hold my hands :D

No, it means you have the wrong thing.

This isn't just updating firmware. It is putting an entirely different kind of firmware on the card, one that transforms it from a RAID controller into an HBA.

There are a variety of resources out there that explain how to change various cards into a 9300. I don't have a guide readily available.

Can i see somewhere what hardware i need to buy what can work my truenas 13?

Traditionally LSI/Broadcom HBAs are recommended. Just not RAIDs, but HBAs, that is why you was proposed to reflash. I'd recommend to go towards 12Gb ones, since 6Gb 92xx while still working are too long out of vendor support. Like these ones: https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters , but 93xx and 94xx HBA lines should also be fine.

I dont know what happend but now i can go card bios and i have 8xhdd and its found only 5. All hdd works fine my windows and crystaldist info looks good. When i change one "other half" hdds others my cards found all hdds? Why not card not found all my 2tb hdds?

Those pictures are showing a MegaRAID 9341 controller. Please get rid of the MegaRAID and replace it with an HBA. You can either crossflash the existing card, or replace it with a 9300.

Cant flash older version.

Nobody's saying to use an "older version". You can't use ANY version of MegaRAID. You have to REPLACE it.

I don't know. I tend to just buy cards I know will work well, most of my cards are Supermicro 3008 cards. As I said above, I don't have a guide available for the 9341-8i.

@Stilez has a general guide to crossflashing, but I am getting the sense English is not your first language, and the level of detail here may be beyond what is "safe" for a new user in a foreign language. This may be playing with fire to point you at this, but the only thing I can do to help you is to suggest a different card, or trying to crossflash. See

Detailed newcomers' guide to crossflashing LSI 9211/9300/9305/9311/9400/94xx HBA and variants

There's hundreds of threads on crossflashing variants of LSI 9211/9300/9305/9311/94xx cards here, on ServeTheHome, and on blogs. But they don't always discuss the subtleties of doing it on an EFI board for users who may never have used EFI...

Time to sell the RAID controller on ebay and buy a better suited HBA.

 

[Niamu]

what can i need to buy? Ebay have is about 1 million cards what they say to work truenas

 

[neofusion]

Another thing I noticed looking at your screenshots is that your card is running hot at 81 ºC, presumably while mostly idle.
That suggests you lack sufficient airflow over your PCI-E slots.

Whether or not you manage to reflash it or find a better card won't matter if you cook the card in the end.

 

[Niamu]

Again my luck. I took a risk and bought a card that was close to me and it was ir mode too heh

They often are, unless specifically marketed TrueNAS/etc users.
Fortunately the card you have now should be possible to flash to IT-mode. Many people use that model successfully.

 

[mav@]

Those cards have officially two firmwares (IR and IT), different only whether they support RAID features or not, so switching between them is trivial. But either should work fine with TrueNAS, not creating problems with hot-plug and other things that pure RAID cards often do, so you may leave it just as-is. The main downside is that the card is from 92xx series, which as I have told above is very old.
