I recently bought a 4U 24 bay Supermicro system off a friend, but am unable to get unRAID to see any of my hard drives. The RAID controller is a LSI Megaraid 9265-8i, and there doesn't seem to be any conclusive information out there for putting that card into IT mode. The card is connected to the backplane with a single SFF-8087 cable, though the card has two SFF-8087 ports; the 20 or so SATA drives I have installed are visible in the controller UI, but it seems like the only solution to let unRAID see them is to create single-disk RAID volumes, which seems like a bad idea. According to unRAID, my motherboard is a X9DR3-F.
Can anyone recommend an easy to find on ebay replacement card that would fit my use case?
Cheers.
