The Pursuit of Homelabs, Part 5 – IT LIVES!

How do I want to use my drives? As just a bunch of disks, also referred to as “JBOD”. Higher-end 11th generation PERC cards do offer JBOD and some other flavors of RAID drive configurations, however the H200, sadly, doesn’t. When researching my parts before purchase, most folks suggested that I could “quickly” and “easily” flash the card to IT Mode, following one of “tons” of guides out there. The process wasn’t especially quick, nor easy, and I only found two or three tutorials and a handful of forum posts that all started referencing each other by the time I figured out what I needed to do.
