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

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


Windows 10 home recognized it right away installed the drivers and it's been working great.


Very fast array creation and initialization. SATA 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s interface capability. Will happily confirm the array integrity after a sudden power loss, unfortunately had to do it a few times before I broke down and bought the LSICVM02 addon kit, another $200. Read and write speeds are pretty amazing on this controller and the rated I/O performance feels like it's there. SSD Guard feature ensures that TRIM is monitored and maintained.

Installation was smooth for W7 64 bit system. Plug and play detection and driver installation works well. Drives connected to internal sata ports are plug and play. Asmedia 106x controller.

*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





Super fast M.2 X 3 using raid zero.

works as advertized. No drama.
