It worked with no fuss: shut down ubuntu, popped in the card, hooked up a drive, powered up and there it was in the drives app.
- Ease of setup - Speed / functionality
-- Connect up-to 16 drives -- Detected without issue in FreeNAS 9.10
Works with my desktop motherboard. Worked right out of the box with little effort. Fast. Using ArgusMonitor benchmark it reads 26% (414 Mb/s vs 329Mb/s) faster, but writes 8% slower (381Mb/s vs. 416Mb/s) than the on-board Intel RAID controller in a 4x2TB RAID 0 array. I can expand to more drives later.
Great Raid card that's extremely Quick (would be perfect for lots of SSD's) Easy to Setup
I added this interface to a Proxmox VM system to add SSD drives to a virtual NAS machine. Proxmox easily identified the controller and I was able to pass thru the SSD's to the NAS.
low cost. amazing for non raid proformance increase.
- Fits in any PCIe slot
- Works out of the box on FreeBSD 11 - No issues with 4Kn drives
