-- Connect up-to 16 drives -- Detected without issue in FreeNAS 9.10


I needed more sata ports, and my motherboard only had 3. This allowed me to add 4 more ports, and thus 4 more hard drives. The card was recognized by windows 10, so I had no driver issues. The card worked so great that I ended up buying another card.


standard card, no drivers needed for OS

well performing


Does what it is needed for. Have had no errors with it over the multiple builds I have used these cards in. Stable as a rock.

Using this card with the StarTech 8 bay full of drives (3-6TB) with no issues now for over a year. Much more reliable than USB. I like the setup so much I would like to add another 8 bay.

*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

Easy to setup, heavy, well finished heatsink. Plugged in drives and worked as advertised. Speeds as expected for NVMe drives

i used it for my home server ... i hooked it up to 4x2TB Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 drives and it just works! I had no problem creating two raid volumes (250gb and 5.5tb, you need this to install windows… because you cannot install win on GDP disk) in the raid bios. Performance is solid, when I copy files from one raid vol to another I get sustained 175mb/sec I'm not sure why LSI bother acquiring 3ware... 4 years ago when i started using my 3Ware 9690SA-4I4E it was fine but over the years nothing changed about the card so all sort of management limitation and glitches and incompatibility with latest OS and drives made me switch… I have it working in my SP35 Shuttle that is running Win2008R2


I used 2 of these to replace broken SATA jacks on my 3-yr old ASUS MB. Easy install. Supplied driver worked fine.
