There is a fair chance for any newer LSI/PERC that supports sas it may be supported under the mfi driver. for example on dell R410 mfiutil -u0 show adapter mfi0 Adapter: Product Name: PERC H700 Adapter Serial Number: 0CP00UO Firmware: 12.10.0-0025 RAID Levels: JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, RAID10, RAID50 Battery Backup: present NVRAM: 32K Onboard Memory: 512M Minimum Stripe: 8k Maximum Stripe: 1M mfi0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x010400 card=0x1f161028 chip=0x00791000 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic / Symbios Logic' device = 'MegaRAID SAS 2108 [Liberator]' class = mass storage I am currently having some issues with a similar controller but thats a different firmware and rebadged by supermicro. so far i havent had any issues with this dell but its been under very light load and only up for a month.
