The IBM M1015 HBA card flashed to IT mode with LSI SAS 2008 Firmware works perfectly under Mojave and Catalina. I have it connected to an HP SAS Expander card with 16 SAS drives connected to it. I now have several M1015 cards which I buy from Hong Kong for under £20 new. When used with a HP SAS Expander card with P20 Firmware connected using both ports on the M1015 card maximum theoretical data transfer speeds are 12GB/s using SAS drives. I have 4 drives configured as JBOD and 12 drives as Raid 1 which have really fast read speeds as it will read the data from multiple disks simultaneously using the 2 X 6GB connections to transfer the data. I also use these cards on my SuperMicro server as Raid 5. Here is a link to flashing the cards if you need it. https://opticpow.io/post/cross-flash-ibm-serveraid-m1015-to-it-mode/
