Works like I need it to at this time. The jumpers are set to esata, need to change them if you use the sata. I bought it for the esata ports.

Easy to install and set up and it doubled transfer rates over my Intel ICH10R RAID chip that is built in to my Gigabyte mother board. I also have an Intel RT3WB080 RAID card that uses the same LSI 2108 chip and the LSI board posts much faster than the Intel board.

- on my windows 11 nas setup, it literally was just plug and play. All drives were immediately recognized



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






Packaged well and arrived on time, in original sealed box. It worked and it's fast. That's all anyone can hope for when dealing with interfaces.






To the user frustrated with the socket location on the 9260-8i, you need to look into the LSI 9261-8i instead. It's the same card but with the sockets at the rear of the card for better routing in 2U servers.

Second HighPoint controller with no issues. Paired with four WD20EFRX 2TB IntelliPower in RAID 5.
