- 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


I needed more sata ports, and my motherboard only had 3. This allowed me to add 4 more ports, and thus 4 more hard drives. The card was recognized by windows 10, so I had no driver issues. The card worked so great that I ended up buying another card.


Host Bus Adapter card shipped in IT mode with firmware 20.00.02.00 All I had to do was update the firmware to 20.00.07.00 to use with FreeNAS version 11 The newer chipset runs on PCIe 3.0 which is supported on my X11SSM-F motherboard. Worth paying more for the genuine product, no chance of getting a knockoff card. ;-)

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


easy set up



Awesome performance and ability to mount nearly anywhere. The power connector on the top can be used instead of plugging the card into a slot, but using a slot is generally easier if one is available.

works well - no issues

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

Easy to setup, heavy, well finished heatsink. Plugged in drives and worked as advertised. Speeds as expected for NVMe drives

- works great with spin disks - Can force write back without bbu with parity RAID (lsi feature)


One of the easiest installs I've ever done, plug in and go. Added AHCI support to my old MB and increased my SSD performance by 3x.
