Day 1, easy install & setup. 1+ year later & it still works great. Insane bandwidth on a 8TBx4 Raid 0 setup. Price was worth it.
We purchased this card because it supports SSD drives. Created a RAID 6, with 6 SSD 30GB, Vertex Turbo drives. The system runs extremely fast.
- Added to my Windows 7 PC, card and 2 attached drives were detected immediately - Small form factor means it doesn't block airflow to my GPU (too much) - PCI-Express 1x means it doesn't take lanes from GPU/other 1x cards - SATA connectors compatible with cables using locking clips - PC boots as fast as before
Works LSI Logic controllers just work better than anything else on the market. Perform great, and work reliably.
* Super easy upgrade from an Adaptec 6405 to this. Just plug the card in, attach the internal cable (once you have it), attach the cables to your drives in whatever order, the card determines what the correct order is automatically and asks you to confirm. * Twice the cache of the 6405
To all of You that are having Problems getting this Card Work, You MUST use a LGA 1156 Board for this Card and the Intel Card also for NO Problems it will work Fine. PS. it will not work on any LGA 1155 Board
Tri-Mode connects SAS, SATA, and NVMe storage with one adapter
FAST!!! Supports Raid 6 & 60, Best Raid Management GUI we've ever seen. Unbelievably fast rebuild times- less than 6 hours for a failed 3TB drive on an 8 drive Raid 6 array. The BEST rebuild time we'eve ever seen for the same failure on our LSI or Areca cards is 20+ hours.
well performing
Works and provides the additional ports I needed<p> Easy Installation<P> Came with Latest Firmware and in IT (HBA) mode<P> It is not a Raid Card<P> This is a Budget <b>Enterprise</b> card not a Sata Card<P> Get these https://www.newegg.com/p/0PS-00E0-01MH5 to attache a 40x40x10mm Fan for added cooling.
