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

*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



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

Works with my desktop motherboard. Worked right out of the box with little effort. Fast. Using ArgusMonitor benchmark it reads 26% (414 Mb/s vs 329Mb/s) faster, but writes 8% slower (381Mb/s vs. 416Mb/s) than the on-board Intel RAID controller in a 4x2TB RAID 0 array. I can expand to more drives later.


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

I'm using this HBA card with 4 4tb western digital red drives in a software raid 6 with debian 7. So far I haven't seen any issues and am seeing around 280 mB/s reads and around 240 mB/s writes.



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



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

expands storage. option rom loads fast, only adds a few seconds to boot time.



I was expecting a reclaimed or refurbished card but recieved a brand new in sealed retail packaging.
