NO RAID Real HBA PCI Gen 3 Works awesome with Windows Storage Spaces

The LSI-9305 required no setup. Merely plug it in, connect the SAS cables to the backplane and poof, done. This card supports 3.0 and 6.0 gb/s hard drives and SSD's


Super fast file transfer Recognized all of my 24 WD 12TB HDDs upon drivers install without any issues. Comes in IT mode firmware preinstalled so great right out of the box. Extremely well constructed.



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




-Bought this to replace failed MegaRAID card on an old server. I did not want to reconfigure my RAID arrays (3xRAID1, 1xRAID10) -Installed new card everything booted including my RAID arrays. Just as I was hoping. -Free advice to anybody with significant storage array: Make sure you have backups and make sure you have tested your restore procedures. I was able to restore all of my storage (~10TB) to cobbled together server and limp along until the replacement card arrived. -Yep, I know I should replace the entire server. I bought it used, 8 years ago, this is the first time a component failed.

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



- Great linux support - Amazing I/O - Works great with LSIiBBU07 Battery Backup

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. ;-)

well performing

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


Does what it says and handles it like a champ! No issues with cooling or drives dropping and I have been hammering this thing.
