I am finally upgrading my NAS hardware and ended up getting two IBM ServeRAID M1015 HBAs.
1) Where can I find the latest drivers for them? IBMs site? LSIs site? Somewhere else? I ask because the current HBAs that I have, Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8, the drivers on Supermicro's site, though worked, didn't support hot swapping. I had to search on some forums for someone giving out drivers that supported this functionality.
2) Do these cards support hot swapping?
3) I see all over that people are flashing the firmware on these cards to LSI 9xxx. Could someone explain this a bit? I couldn't find any explanation on the benefits of doing this.
Thanks!
