NO RAID Real HBA PCI Gen 3 Works awesome with Windows Storage Spaces



-- Connect up-to 16 drives -- Detected without issue in FreeNAS 9.10

This HBA is super quick, been running for a few months now and runs my lab virtual machines with ease. I run this in a lab environment that I use for training (Exchange, ADFS, Lync, SQL) and it rocks. Connected to 8 15.7K Seagate SAS drives and couldn't be happier.


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.

It worked with no fuss: shut down ubuntu, popped in the card, hooked up a drive, powered up and there it was in the drives app.


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


Super fast M.2 X 3 using raid zero.





-Will take your SATA3 drive and unleash its full potential -Cheap -Comes with a HH adapter

This card replaced three 8 disk SAS cards in my system. This card simply just works without any issue. I have been running it for about 8 months with 21 data disks and 3 parity disks in a FlexRAID configuration that recalculates parity every 24 hours. Given how dynamic some of my data is the parity recalculation cycles can be a couple hours long and this card is rock solid with that really heavy i/o.


Fast. Inexpensive compared to similar offerings from the competition. Feature rich. Great graphical and command line interface. 24/7 technical support from LSI. Works flawlessly with ESXi 4.1 with a single-digit modification to the driver's accompanying XML file.
