Great Raid card that's extremely Quick (would be perfect for lots of SSD's) Easy to Setup
Host Bus Adapter card shipped in IT mode with firmware 20.00.02.00 All I had to do was update the firmware to 20.00.07.00 to use with FreeNAS version 11 The newer chipset runs on PCIe 3.0 which is supported on my X11SSM-F motherboard. Worth paying more for the genuine product, no chance of getting a knockoff card. ;-)
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.
