Pros: Saw every single drive that I threw at it.

Cons: None that I can think of, but I didn't try all the features.

Overall Review: I had to RMA this puppy because I really don't have a use for a 4-port raid card. I have two 8-port cards that I use. I wanted this so I could tie my three 7.5 TB raids together into one drive, and I bought this card thinking that it would work with port multipliers, but I was wrong. There are so many subtle name differences among this manufacturer's cards that I confused the Rocket 640L with the RocketRaid 640L during my research. Of course, since there was nothing wrong with that card, NewEgg assessed me a pretty hefty restocking fee. I can understand that and chalk it up to the need to do a better and more thorough job of researching what I’m looking to buy next. Oh well. I ended up doing a search for the chip name (Marvell 88SE9235) instead of the card name and came up with the RocketRAID 600L. When that thing gets here, I’ll see if that does the job (because NewEgg's description of the card says that it does), and if it does, then I’ll write up a review for that.

Pros: Not that I can tell

Cons: Too many to tell

Overall Review: Don't bother with this card. Buy from somewhere else to get a port multiplier/RAID card from another manufacturer. I RMA'ed one of these cards almost two years ago. I got a replacement card. I tested it fully, and it tested okay. I set it on my shelf to keep as a spare/replacement. Now I need a replacement. Guess what...the card now will not work. The center red light on the card blinks constantly, and it will not build a RAID of any sort. I've owned the card (starting with the one that this one replaced) for more than the 3 years originally listed as the warranty period, so no RMA for me, regardless of the fact that this card now shows a lifetime warranty on parts. And just what is the labor that carries only a 1 year warranty? I suspect it's a way for the company to get around the lifetime warranty by claiming that some labor has to be performed on the card.. I am very disappointed in the performance of this card, not its performance in a computer but its performance on the shelf waiting to be installed.

Pros: Bought about 3 months ago, and still singing along with the lights and the performance (Path of Exile at 60 fps). Glad I bought it. And I may buy another when I get the money.

Cons: Bought in August, 2023 Worked OK until several weeks ago when my game suddenly stopped, and my screen went blank with no warning. I looked at the computer, and all the fan lights were on and the fans were running. Then I heard a crackling sound and some smoke came out of the case. I shut down the computer and tried to restart...no action at all. Then I removed the PSU (500watt) and replaced it with a 650 watt I had bought years ago but had never opened the box. After installing the new PSU, I started the computer, and it now works as it should. Just illustrates a fact of life: we never know when something will fail, but we do know that things do eventually fail, and it pays to be prepared.,

Overall Review: I would recommend this unit to anyone who is serious about gaming. Well worth the money.

Pros: The features I wanted and my old LGA 1150 fit it.

Cons: Started having problems immediately after the 30-day return option expired. Now it will not boot up or anything. I bought two just to see what would happen. I guess I now know.

Overall Review: I won't be buying ASUS products again, and I'll tell all my friends and relatives about this board and ASUS quality (or lack thereof) for some time now.

Pros: See other thoughts

Cons: See other thoughts

Overall Review: I don't own this card, but I do own several of it's siblings (SY-PCE40037). From what I can tell, this card is the same as those which I have bought already. These things drop like flies every once in a while. I've bought more than 10 of those cards and have have to RMA way too many of them. In fact, nearly 3 weeks ago I sent SYBA one of the cards as an RMA and still have not heard from them. I may have to just write off the 60.00 bucks that I spent on that card. Furthermore, IOCREST (SYBA) is for some reason calling this current card a SATA 6GB card while it's actually only a SATA 3GB. Well, you get what you pay for. But be very careful about what you spend on SYBA (IOCREST) products in the future.

Pros: These run quiet, cool, and steady.

Cons: None that I can think of right offhand.

Overall Review: I bought 20 of these, 15 to run in a home-built NAS and 5 for spares. Long story short: I have 3 RAID 5's via port multipliers all fed into a HighPoint RocketRAID 644L via 3 e-SATA cables. Running 21 TB now at acceptable speeds given that some of the hardware is limiting speeds to SATA 3Gb/s. But the real bottleneck is my 1Gb/s wired switch. Copying between the NAS and the server over the e-SATA cables goes at about 220-250 MB/s while copying from my desktop to the server or the NAS over the network tops out at 115-125 MB/s. Oh well. I have had only one drive fail out of the 20 so far, and that's almost a year now, so I'd have to say these drives are pretty reliable so far.

Don't buy from this place unless you have at least a month to wait. I ordered 4 SAS fanout cables because SODIAL had the lowest price, and how can you screw up a cable? So now it's three weeks later, and I don't even have a tracking number yet. Oh well. 20 bucks down the drain and now I have to more expensive cables from somewhere else. And when (if) SODIAL does get around to shipping the cables to me, I'll be sending them back for an RMA a LOT faster than SODIAL shipped them to me! Word to the wise: avoid ordering from SODIAL if you need something in a reasonable time. Order from them only if you need something in an unreasonable time, and then only if you can afford to write off the cost in case it never gets shipped. Oh, and the reason for my impatience? I'm babying a broken RAID holding 22 TB of irreplaceable stuff waiting on the last part to begin effecting repairs. And yes, I realize I should've checked out the shipper before ordering from them, so that's on me. But they take my money and sit on it for a month or two and maybe even forget to ship my stuff, and that's on them. And another thing: The shipper response keeps cropping up to contact them before giving a bad review. That's not now to avoid bad reviews; do a good job instead. That's how to avoid bad reviews.
