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

Works LSI Logic controllers just work better than anything else on the market. Perform great, and work reliably.

standard card, no drivers needed for OS



8 Drive capability Extremely high IO Excellent price/Performance



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


Very fast. Did I mention it is fast. My CPU is fast, but this allows my CPU to not do any RAID parity calculations. Also, this has 1 GB onboard cache which does help with some file transfers. I mainly need fast sequential reads/writes with large files. Supports PCIe 3.0 and backwards compatible, which is good because Sandy Bridge CPUs do not support PCIe 3.0 :-( Future proof as these support 12 Gb/sec or excess of 1.2 GB/s if you have PCIe 3.0. My HDDs are too slow to take advantage of the speed, but it has helped in the RAID 5 though. The SSDs on it are insane.





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

* 16 6 gb/s ports with a totol throughput 12,888 MB/s * 16E HBA + JBOD + ZFS = legacy hardware raid killer * Ability to expand to 1024 disks.

- Windows installed drivers automatically - able to boot from ssd drive attached through it - get about 400mb/s ssd HDD transfer speeds with benchmarking software.
