Someone had reported success with writing empty sbr after cleanflash. It can be frustrating at time and I've gone thru' this pain. Are there any other possibly better options out there? Thanks in advance for any input or insights into my situation.

Is this correctable?Īlso, are my expectations for this project even attainable? Will this card (assuming I get it to work) give me full 6Gbps SATA III for the Samsung SSD in the Windows environment. So I enter the path back to the 6GBPSAS.fw that I had previously and it gives the error:Īt this point I am not sure which direction I need to go. Enter firmware file name or quit to exit: I wish I had found these first! When I run your batch files I get the error:Ĭontroller is not operational. I then did some searching on this error and found these forums and your awesome batch files for accomplishing the flash. The little green light on the card is still flashing. I went back and executed "megarec.exe -cleanflash 0" but that has not helped the problem. Attempting Host Boot.ĭue to error remaining commands will not be executed. When I execute the "sas2flsh.exe -o -f 6GBPSAS.fw" I get an error of:Ĭhip is in RESET state.
No RAID BIOS loaded and I just booted straight to the USB drive.
I then executed "megarec.exe -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin" and it returned a Success! The way the guide was worded I assumed since the command succeeded I could skip the step of "megarec.exe -cleanflash 0", so I rebooted the system. I originally started following this guide: I realize that this forum is generally for unRAID stuff but my difficulty seems to be in the flashing part of the adventure and you kind people seem to be the most knowledgeable on this topic! I am planning on solely using this in Windows 10 as an interface for the Samsung SSD. So, I picked up a used board on eBay and attempted to flash it this evening and I am concerned that I may have bricked the card! I'm not sure if this was the best course of action but I invested less then $30 in the card with the included cable. I saw several people making suggestions of picking up a Dell H310 and flashing it to an LSI 9211 IT mode for this purpose.
#DELL PERC H200 FLASH LSI FIRMWARE UPGRADE#
I was trying to buy a SATA III PCIE card to upgrade the machine but most of the ones I found were only PCIE x1 or x2 and didn't seem to support the full bandwidth of 6Gbps SATA III at PCIE 2.0 speeds. I just picked up a new Samsung EVO 1TB SSD. I have an old Gigabyte motherboard that only supports Sata II and PCIE 2.0.
