-- Connect up-to 16 drives -- Detected without issue in FreeNAS 9.10

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.




Very fast array creation and initialization. SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s interface capability. Will happily confirm the array integrity after a sudden power loss, unfortunately had to do it a few times before I broke down and bought the LSICVM02 addon kit, another $200. Read and write speeds are pretty amazing on this controller and the rated I/O performance feels like it's there. SSD Guard feature ensures that TRIM is monitored and maintained.

Flashed this card to the IR firmware, flashed all 4 of my SSD's to the most current firmware then threw them into a raid-0 array. Getting 2GB/s read and write speeds according to ATTO starting at the 128k chunk size.






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


- Fits in any PCIe slot

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

if you have a sata board , and want to step it up this card is for you , i used the crucial c300's and raided them in raid 0 super speed
