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.

as I said earlier in the thread, I've bought 2 of these:

which if I'm reading that chart right should work with the 4Kn drives.
