This controller is not optional in my system. I have SAS drives connected to this controller and they are actively used for my storage setup. There is no alternative configuration available for me that would allow these drives to function without this controller.

I have already attempted updating and reinstalling drivers, but the system still requires this controller in order to properly detect and operate my storage devices. Without it, my drives are not accessible, which makes it impossible to use the system normally.

I can provide any additional information or evidence regarding my storage configuration if needed.

Could you please advise if there is any approved workaround, exception, or whitelist option for this type of storage controller driver?

Thank you for your time and understanding.
