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


*12Gb SAS -- Insanely fast (was able to read ~7300 MB/s from a large SSD stripe V-Dev) *LSI so you know it runs flawlessly out of the box on Linux *It's not a RAID card, just a pure host bus adapter that doesn't get in the way *Absolutely perfect HBA for a ZFSonLinux box (probably works well on *BSD too) *Supports 24 direct connections to drives or passive/direct backplane, or up to 1024 drives through expanders



Great Raid card that's extremely Quick (would be perfect for lots of SSD's) Easy to Setup




Relatively easy installation, I am able to run this card either from my UEFI/BIOS or GUI on the desktop, though I need to remember the command to do it for the latter.

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



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.

Windows 10 home recognized it right away installed the drivers and it's been working great.

I thought that I had received the wrong drive. Acutally I had the wrong cable. And I should have known better. Once I got the correct cable, the boards work.

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


The board is well made and worked straight out of the box - No problems with the install software. I have been doing a lot of mpeg video editing (files 3 to 7 Gb long). Most of my time has been spent WAITING on file transfers. Enabling the 6.0 Gb transfer power of my PC and Drives is a dream come true. What used to take 30 to 50 minutes now takes 60 seconds to 3 minutes.
