In Controllers / RAID Cards

I don't know, I never used it. Oh-- It does actually LOOK really cool!

I am EXTREMELY impressed with this controller. It seems to take FULL advantage of my SSD's! Running 2 SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series (MZ-7PD512BW - 512GB) in a raid 0 and it's getting a max read speed of 1.06 GB/sec! I had gone through a couple of the cheaper raid controllers seeking these speeds but none were able to deliver. Must say, this one is totally worth it.

Supports Virtual Drives(Very, very important if you want to present a large disk to and install Windows). Very fast, the Cache is a-plenty(512 MB, double the cache that my hard drives have). It also supports SSD and has optimization features for those, for future expansion. It also supports SAS extenders fr expanding out your array. The optional BBU I bought separably is great, and offers additional performance bonuses due to write back. This card is actually sitting in a spare slot in my Nvidia 780i triple SLI motherboard. Bought that way back in the day when I saw that PCIe 2.0 would be an excepted and common standard for add-on cards; I was right. It now serves as the platform for my WHS11 file server. The LSI Megaraid monitoring tool is usefull as well for checking up on the cntroller/BBU healthOh and when I called LSI for help on setting it up, I got a person instantly, none of that stupid call routing stuff, just an honest, nice and knowledgeable staff member. Glad I bought LSI!
