Broadcom LSI 9305-16i 12Gbps SAS-3 PCIe x8 HBA P16 IT mode ZFS TrueNAS Unraid

Description: Broadcom LSI 9305-16i 12Gbps SAS-3 PCIe x8 HBA P16 IT mode Listed for sale is a Broadcom LSI 9305-16i HBA SAS controller card. It is fully updated to Avago / LSI 9305-16i IT (Initiator Target) mode firmware version P16 (specifically 16.00.12.00). I also flashed the LSI/Avago MPTSAS3 BIOS ROM version 08.37.02.00 and UEFI 18.00.03.00 so that it is easier to access the controller's ROM without booting an OS. LSI IT mode firmware version P16 (16.00.12.00) MPTSAS3 BIOS ROM flashed version 08.37.02.00 MPTSAS3 UEFI ROM flashed version 18.00.03.00 Original SAS address preserved in flash Original Board Tracer Number preserved in flash Original Board Assembly preserved in flash BOTH full and low profile bracket included PCIe 3.0 x8Requires SFF-8643 cables which are not included. These are based on the LSI SAS3224 SAS controller chipset and support 12Gbps SAS-3 storage devices. It uses a PCI-E 3.0 connection with x8 lanes. The controller has 4 SFF-8643 connectors, each carrying 4x 12Gbps SAS lanes. CAUTION#1: Please note this card is a high performance card and runs hot. You must install it with plenty of airflow over its heatsink. Improper cooling can cause failure and poor reliability. These cards are fully tested in my Supermicro server running ZFS on Linux (ZoL), but this setup is also ideal for other ZFS setups, FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox VE, etc. I have fully tested them using all 16 SAS lanes. Not exactly the HBA / IT mode adapter you were looking for? Check out the HBA section at my ebay store here. Feel free to ask any questions. Why buy from the Art of Server? I can provide technical support if you have problems I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit. I ship fast, usually same or next business day! I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. (sorry, I can't link per eBay policy) I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube. I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc. I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed. I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! :-) I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts. I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm? Who is the Art of Server? I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on eBay to help others with their server build? Since then, I've also added other "interesting" items to my eBay store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. :-)
