Question 1

is this the same thing as supermicro's 8GB SuperCap (model#: BTR-TFM8G-LSICVM02)??

Accepted Answer

I can't say for sure because it's hard to know the exact details of the Supermicro part.

It's very similar and the last portion of the part number matches, but I would use the Cache Device recommended for the specific controller just to be sure.

Many controllers use the LSI chip set; LSI, Intel, SuperMicro, etc...but the BIOS versions may differ and if you want support it is best to use the items listed on the support website
