Good morning! Does anyone know if the SAS expander (not SAS extender) in a C210 M2, part number R210-SASXPAND, is compatible with Microsoft Storage Spaces, be it in Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016 and/or 2019? Before I replace the factory installed LSI ...

Thank you for replying, Wes. I appreciate your time.Perhaps you can suggest a JBOD controller for use with the SAS expander in a C210 M2?

Good evening, Kirk. Thank you for replying. Last night, before posting here, adding the CIMC address to trusted sites didn't work, so I removed it. For whatever reason, when I re-added it tonight, it works! It's worth noting that protected mode i...
