- Ease of setup - Speed / functionality

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.


-Cheap -Compatible with TrueNAS -Fast Transfering over single 10Gb from Windows -> TrueNAS RAID10 -> RAIDZ @ [~700-980 MB/s]


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





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.

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.


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. ;-)



Worked flawlessly, like a piece of hardware in 2013 should. I had to change some jumpers, but the manual was written in clear, correct English and it was easily done.


Second HighPoint controller with no issues. Paired with four WD20EFRX 2TB IntelliPower in RAID 5.

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