Not just IT firmware, but you need to make sure the driver and firmware match. I try to use 16 if possible, 20 works but I have only found the 20.00.04.00 version of firmware to be reliable. Would love to hear if people have different experience. I am about to try the rocket raid in IT mode because I am tired of fighting with lsi firmware. Very very stable when you get the right combo, 1000's of phantom checksum errors if not. I am starting to like 12g 3008 cards better as the firmware seems to be a little more stable at version 9. Been testing 12 and so far so good, but haven't run my larger stress tests yet.. I would definitely go to the avago site and make sure there is driver and firmware for the card you are purchasing before you buy.
