Subvendor is Fujitsu Siemens - so I guess this is integrated into a system by them.

Seems like flashing the 2108 to an IT firmware isn’t an option (based on what I found online). You could check if there are firmware updates available though. How did you configure the drives in the megaraid utility (ctrl-h after boot)? Did you create a RAID-0 for each disk? And what capacity is shown in there?

Based on [0], 2108 based controllers don’t support 4kn. IT mode would help (true passthrough), but as written above, I don’t think it’s an option for this model.
