Read the fine print about RAID6

Super fast, reliable, good support, hardware raid.

It supports RAID6 ONLY if you have 5 drives or more which means it requires a SAS expander to get the full usage of the card. As that's the primary reason I bought the card I was disappointed.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Mac Support

Works in a Mac Pro as a secondary storage controller. Has a Mac driver, and works out of the box with Linux.

You cannot boot from the RAID on Mac hardware. The driver, and management software install for the Mac and Linux is terrible. Once everything is installed it works fine but really the products lacks the polish expected from a $300+ product.
