[geeks] ZFS on Dell R720?

[Thomas Pelki]

all you have to do is follow fodheesa guide to flash IT firmware onto the
H710 mini.
a lot of his hacking was done remotely on my r720 before he got all his
hardware in hand.

 follow his guide here -> https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html

I run my r720 full loaded with spinning rust and SSD's with ZFS via FreeNAS
on the H710 mini in IT mode.
works great.
