very reliable.

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

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

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





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.

Installed easily



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.

Super fast M.2 X 3 using raid zero.


Okay, I know this is a somewhat dangerous experiment but I have this card running a RAID 5 array comprised of 7 WD RE4-GP recertified drives. That's 6 drives in RAID 5 with a hot spare for 9TBs of usable space. I have only had this running for a few weeks but so far I have no problems. LSI utilty for Windows server is great. Performance seems to be quite good as well with write speeds around 80-100mb/s and reads at around 120-130mb/s. So, for a low power controller with no onboard memory, it is doing a respectable job.
