very reliable.
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.
NO RAID Real HBA PCI Gen 3 Works awesome with Windows Storage Spaces
easy set up
low cost. amazing for non raid proformance increase.
I added this interface to a Proxmox VM system to add SSD drives to a virtual NAS machine. Proxmox easily identified the controller and I was able to pass thru the SSD's to the NAS.
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.
Gen4 speed, good cooling, decent price.
Great Raid card that's extremely Quick (would be perfect for lots of SSD's) Easy to Setup
I owned a previous older model for 7 years needed a new one for a new build and was just as I expected install set up was a breeze
