Hello everyone,
Had a chance to purchase a 2950. I would like the ability to use FlexRAID and have a few questions regarding the modifications needed to allow this. As I understand, I will not be able to use the PERC5 RAID controller due to the fact that it will not allow individual drives visible to an OS (JBOD/HBA). So, a different controller will be needed. I have read that an LSI 9211 8i 8 port 6GB/s SATA/SAS controller with an SFF-8484 cable will allow me to use FlexRAID as long as the PERC5 is taken out of the case.
Has anyone else modified their 2950 to utilize FlexRAID??
