very reliable.

Flashed this card to the IR firmware, flashed all 4 of my SSD's to the most current firmware then threw them into a raid-0 array. Getting 2GB/s read and write speeds according to ATTO starting at the 128k chunk size.


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.

easy set up


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


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





Inexpensive $10 with MIR, Supports SATA 3 if you wanted to run SSD worked great, fixed a computer that i was given where the SATA connector on the board were not working so this PCI one fixed the problem and computer works great now!

Works LSI Logic controllers just work better than anything else on the market. Perform great, and work reliably.


Okay, I know this is a somewhat dangerous experiment but I have this card running a RAID 5 array comprised of 7 WD RE4-GP recertified drives. That's 6 drives in RAID 5 with a hot spare for 9TBs of usable space. I have only had this running for a few weeks but so far I have no problems. LSI utilty for Windows server is great. Performance seems to be quite good as well with write speeds around 80-100mb/s and reads at around 120-130mb/s. So, for a low power controller with no onboard memory, it is doing a respectable job.
