Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2008 Compatability with SCALE

TrueNAS General
1

I have been running Avago Technologies (LSI) SAS2008 with CORE for a few years. I know it was a very commonly used HBA since it was easy to convert to IT Mode, easy to get and inexpensive. Can anyone confirm this HBA is usable/reliable with the current versions of SCALE?

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Yes

It’s old, so I’d suggest a 2308 or 3008 instead if possible, but the 2008 still works just fine.
