Direct Replacement Installed Straightforwardly, Took Firmware Update Without Problem
Direct replacement for older failed RAID card, installed easily and allowed prior unit's data safety battery to transfer straightaway. The unit did have functional, but down-rev firmware. LSI Logic firmware available online and installed straightforwardly.

These are the same as a LSI/AVAGO/Broadcom 9240-8I
These IBM cards can be reflashed to take the Avago/LSI/Broadcom firmware. It turns it into a 9240-8i that support RAID 1, 0 and 5 with megaraid firmware. These can be cross flashed to Avago/LSI/Broadcom 9205-8I that is a true HBA for things like VSAN, Ceph or ZFS. These are a great value and cheaper than purchasing a HBA.Highs:Supports RAID or HBA with cross flashLower cost than OEM Avago/LSI/Broadcom cards

Update the firmware
Firmware for these date back to 2010. Update to 2014 firmware or some SSD's will only signal 3Gbps not 6Gbps. Some modern consumer boards will need the CSM set properly so it will be recognized. This one would not set the VD in WebBIOS, had to set array up via OS management tools. After that Windows 10 2H20 or Ubuntu Focal works fine. Without a BBU I am getting 375MBps writes and 2600Mbps on reads. Depending on the SSD brand will pass through drive temps.

Do not buy if you need a replacement for LSI SAS 9260-8i
Do not buy if you need a replacement for LSI SAS 9260-8i. It will not recognize your old raid array and will be a huge waste of your time. This model also only has 256mb of cache. Spend an extra $50 and get a 9260-8i with 512mb of cache and you will be good to go.

Not all SATA Controllers are the same.
This SATA controller does not work with my SATA drives; my mistake for not checking that it would work with my drive before ordering.

Funciona en windows 11
Funciona según los esperado, actualice el firmware al más reciente (se encuentra desde la pagina broadcom, 9260-8i), igualmente se encuentran los controladores y otras utilidades o documentación.Agregue unidades de 18TB Seagete exos interface SAS en raid 0 y funcionan correctamente, el disipador que trae la tarjeta se calienta bastante, espero no sea un problema en el futuro.

LSI MegaRaid SAS 9260-8i (ServerRaid M5015)
Easy to install. Card is working good so far. Flashed to latest firmware using Megaraid storage manager. The initialization has been running and will take about another day with the 6 large HDD in the array. All drivers and firmware are available on the Broadcom website under legacy raid controllers.

Works good
Using it to test SAS and SATA drives for production. The software takes a bit to set up but once it's running it works well.
