This review is from: HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL PCI-Express 2.0 x8 Low Profile SATA / SAS Controller Card
Pros:
Cheap and good RAID 10 performance, while it was working.
Cons:
Painfully incompatible with SuperMicro server boards. Spent a week trying different driver and BIOS settings and working with support to conclude this card will just not work.
Caused random hangs during BIOS & POST, data corruption on drives connected to the on-board SATA ports, caused on-board Ethernet to stop working and all sorts of general weirdness that stopped as soon as I disabled and removed the card.
Overall Review:
Do not get this card if you plan to use it with a Supermicro motherboard.
