I’m sure you can reflash LSI card to make it SATA or SAS HBA, or MegaRAD hardware RAID adapter. Is far as I recollect it is the same electronics board. I reflashed a couple of HBAs to make them MegaRAID boards.
you can reflash SOME megaraid cards to put them in IT 'hba' mode, but not others.
One thing though bothers me about LSI, now after last it was bought by Intel its future faith worries me. Intel pushed 3ware which it acquired in the same package with LSI already into oblivion…
Its Avago, formerly Aligent, and before that HP, which bought LSI, 3Ware, and then Broadcom, and renamed itself Broadcom.
