Dell HM030 SAS6i/R 3Gbps HBA w/ LSI SAS1068E P21 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID

Description

Dell HM030 SAS6i/R 3Gbps SAS HBA w/ LSI SAS1068E P21 IT Mode firmware for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID
Listed for sale are what were originally Dell SAS6i/R integrated RAID SAS controller cards that I modified for use with ZFS. They have been cross-flashed to Avago / LSI 1068E IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P21 (specifically 01.33.00.00). I also flashed the LSI/Avago MPTSAS BIOS ROM version 06.36.00.00. This card is in a special form factor that fits only Dell PowerEdge R410 servers! (It may not work in any other machine)
This is a special form factor card designed to work in the Dell PowerEdge R410 integrated slot only! (Does not work in a normal PCIe slot)
LSI SAS1068E IT mode firmware version P21 (01.33.00.00)
MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM flashed version 06.36.00.00
Original SAS address preserved
Only for Dell PowerEdge R410 server
Limited to 2TB for SATA drives only. No size limit for SAS drives.
These are based on the LSI SAS1068E SAS-1 controller chipset and support PCI-E 1.0 specifications with x4 lanes. The controller has 4 SAS lanes.
These cards are fully tested in Dell PowerEdge R410 server running ZFS on Linux (ZoL), but this setup is also ideal for other ZFS setups, FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox VE, etc. I have fully tested them using all 4 SAS lanes.

Why buy from the Art of Server?
I can provide technical support if you have problems
I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit.
I ship fast, usually same or next business day!
I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. (sorry, I can't link per eBay policy)
I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube.
I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc.
I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed.
I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! :-)
I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts.
I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm?
Who is the Art of Server?
I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on eBay to help others with their server build? Since then, I've also added other "interesting" items to my eBay store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. :-)
