I'm looking to upgrade the controllers in my TrueNAS box to

What's the communities recommendation?
needs to support SFF connectors for a total of 4 SFF connectors,
as I have 16 slots.
We at iX are still using LSI/Broadcom HBAs, just moved from long
discontinued mps(4) to newer mpr(4). And I don't believe the
problem
is directly related to capacity. According to my observations it
may
be Seagate HDDs of/above certain (8TB) generation. We do not use
Seagate HDDs in our products, so about that instability I only
heard
from forums and TrueNAS community user reports.
This is a mfi(4) set of controllers, and a ST80000Nm0045 8TB (CMR)
drive.
Is this a bad combo?

mfi(4) are RAIDs, not HBAs. We do not recommend RAIDs with TrueNAS
due to problems with hot-plug, disk identification, etc. and so
have limited experience with them. But I know some of LSI RAIDs
can be reflashed into equivalent HBAs, so if they share the
hardware, I can speculate that they may share some issues.
I've just noticed "932G" instead of "8000G". It is obviously a
bigger problem than what we heard for HBAs. It looks like a kind of
problems that should not happen to HBAs, since they should not care
about disk capacity.
What does `smartctl -a <device>` report (especially sector sizes)?

It's not even making a mfid* node (it is a 4Kn disk)
Ok, that’s sad (and explains the wrong size calculation as 4096/512=8).
Is this in HBA mode? (Like Alexander suggested, re-/crossflashing
using an IT firmware might be an option). What controller / firmware
image version is it?
