Will an LSI SAS 9300-4i4e HBA just work?

Hi, as per the title, if I install an LSI SAS 9300-4i4e HBA in to my server, will the latest version of TrueNAS detect it and will the HBA just work?

Thanks

No. It needs to be flashed to the proper firmware version (16.00.12.00). See the article:

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...

Which contains a link to the firmware.

Thanks for the reply. Looking at that post, it gives a link to the 16.00.12.00 firmware, but I can't see one for 16.00.10.00. Should I just go with 16.00.12.00?

Yes, I just said that 16.00.12.00 was the proper firmware...
