- Ease of setup - Speed / functionality

The LSI-9305 required no setup. Merely plug it in, connect the SAS cables to the backplane and poof, done. This card supports 3.0 and 6.0 gb/s hard drives and SSD's

*12Gb SAS -- Insanely fast (was able to read ~7300 MB/s from a large SSD stripe V-Dev) *LSI so you know it runs flawlessly out of the box on Linux *It's not a RAID card, just a pure host bus adapter that doesn't get in the way *Absolutely perfect HBA for a ZFSonLinux box (probably works well on *BSD too) *Supports 24 direct connections to drives or passive/direct backplane, or up to 1024 drives through expanders


I thought that I had received the wrong drive. Acutally I had the wrong cable. And I should have known better. Once I got the correct cable, the boards work.


Windows 10 home recognized it right away installed the drivers and it's been working great.



- Works out of the box on FreeBSD 11 - No issues with 4Kn drives

Low overhead, cool, great price, speed!! A+ RAID 0 performer, pair this with a few SSDs (some are now $100 on here) and you have got yourself a 1200MB/sec+ rocket (yes, its absolutely insane)




-Recognized directly with Truenas -Well packaged in a plastic case to protect the card in shipping.

Great Raid card that's extremely Quick (would be perfect for lots of SSD's) Easy to Setup

Fast ship, easy install (installed in PCIEx16 slot) with no problems with Win 7pro drivers on X58 chipset Asus mobo P6T dlx V2. Tested with sata3 drive, and works as advertised. Very happy with this controller card as mobo only comes with sata2.
