About this tag
The LSI MegaRAID tag covers issues with LSI MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers, including the 9260-8i model, in Windows Server environments. Common problems include the RAID card causing boot failures, drives showing as unconfigured, and RAID arrays not being visible in Windows Server 2019 after a card swap.

The tag focuses on hardware compatibility, driver management, and RAID configuration recovery.
