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


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


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.


standard card, no drivers needed for OS

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.



SAS Expansion with 24 Gbits/s per mini sas port! I have this unit working with my LSI Megaraid 9260-8i Raid controller. Attached I have 14 1.5TB Seagate hard drives running 3 raid 5 array. I am able to SUSTAIN transfer rates from one array to the other at over 500MB/ps not megabits !MEGABYTES!

It works as advertised. Very easy to install and set-up.

Super fast M.2 X 3 using raid zero.

Super fast file transfer Recognized all of my 24 WD 12TB HDDs upon drivers install without any issues. Comes in IT mode firmware preinstalled so great right out of the box. Extremely well constructed.

Able to use the three SAS hard drives I had purchased on a great deal. (At the time I didn't know SAS and SATA are not quite compatible -- they look similar!) (The unit will take four SAS drives, I 'only' have three.)


great transfer speed, read / write speed is excellent
