Will this HBA FreeNas?

[warllo]

I came across this LSI-9211-4i on eBay all ready flashed to IT mode. I'm hoping someone could provide a quick sanity check since I'm new to SAS and HBA's and confirm that this should work with FreeNAS. I have a very short depth 2u case with 4 drive bays and thought since this card was shorter than most of the 8i variants it might be a good fit.

Did you search the forums ? LSI-9211-4i came up a few times. Should be good to go.

I did look on the forums, just thought I would double-check. Thanks a bunch.

That seller is in Hong Kong and several of us have had good experiences. The devices aren't new, expect they're pulled in a server recycle sweat shop in China. You can consider an 8-port card for about the same price. And yes, expect this to work.

Used doesn't bother me one bit as this is just for home use. Thank you both for your valuable input
