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

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

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


This HBA is super quick, been running for a few months now and runs my lab virtual machines with ease. I run this in a lab environment that I use for training (Exchange, ADFS, Lync, SQL) and it rocks. Connected to 8 15.7K Seagate SAS drives and couldn't be happier.


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


- Easily flashes from IR (Integrated Raid) mode to IT (Initiator Target) mode. - Excellent performance (for class of card). - Well supported by FreeBSD (for ZFS). - Handles 8 drives in IT mode with ease.


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


Fast. Copying from my old computer to this one across gigabit ethernet uses well over half the available bandwith. The write speed is just so much better than the on board Intel raid. For another 250, you can add another 15 or 20 drives if you have that need, search for "intel raid expander." And did I say fast. Good tech support.

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





I was looking for something that would be available upon boot. This controller provided that. I got one of the dreaded Pegatron motherboards with my HP Pavilion a4316f-b, all 4 SATA ports were junk. Now I've upgraded from a Radeon Xpress 200 series, 2gbs of ram with a 32-bit ATI processor to a Nvidia GeForce 9100, 64-bit AMD Athlon II X4 processor with 6gbs of ram.

easy set up, bios recognized card as boot device went to windows, installed drivers, everything is good
