Excellent controller after firmware update

Plug in and go.
Tech support responded within 24 hours.
124 megabytes/sec to my 1.5tb drives.

Increases boot time by at least a minute, but for this price... and support for eight drives, it's not really a big issue.

You will run into problems if you don't do a firmware update.

Update the firmware!

I've always had great results with supermicro servers... why not an hdd controller? I've tried so many other drive controllers before this one with either so-so results or terrible results. This is the first controller in the lower price range that's really been great.

Contact supermicro tech support right when you order this, so by the time you get it in the mail, you'll have the instructions and downloads to update the firmware.

Cheap, PCIe, lots of ports

After reading the quick list of supported OS's I decided to buy two of these cards. I received them and installed them. My plan was to first run FreeBSD, no dice getting that working with these cards at all, So after that I went through 4 different Linux distributions, I only got it working after switching to a 3 year old centos distribution, this allowed me to install the 3 year old proprietary drivers, with their 3 year old bugs.

After some quick testing I noticed right away drives dropping out of the arrays, as well as more concerning cases of drives being readdressed blindly.

In any event, for those thinking about utilizing these cards on a non-Windows based system, be aware that they are based on the mvsas driver, are unstable, slow, and should be avoided.
