In Controllers / RAID Cards

Works out-of-the-box with various Linux distros using 4.x kernel (currently Debian Stable) Works well with mdadm Simple settings Works well/reliably/as advertised

very reliable.

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.

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.

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

easy set up

Compatible with Avago LSI 9270 (LSISAS2208) host controller upstream Compatible feeding a Chenbro CK23601 expander downstream Can input from a single SAS channel Can input from dual SAS channels Almost no heat generated Mounts in a PCIe 4X slot for power (power-only no signals) Can be power from a Molex 4-pin as well (my use) Arrays survived re-routing from Chenbro expander to this Intel expander OS version and host controller drivers should play no role in how well controller and expanders work together. This technology is 100% hardware and no software comes into play.

- Easy setup for on older system with PCI-E slot. - Inexpensive. - Kit contains one SATA cable. - Instructions were satisfactory for my needs.

Super fast M.2 X 3 using raid zero.

*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

Great RAID card for the money I have 12 Seagate 2tb drives in RAID 6 for over a year now Does work with p67 boards, i am using a Sapphire Pure Black P67 Hydra board with mine. Also using an Intel RES2SV240

This card does exactly what it is engineered to do. A Client of mine ordered this card (from newegg) for me to install. For an "entry level" product, it really kicks some serious b*tt! MUCH faster than Intel's built in "wannabe RAID" ICH10R and MILES ahead of Marvell's on-board SATA III solution---which doesn't work at all for RAID. It adds approx. 15 seconds to boot time, but that is to be expected . Having no onboard memory, this card doesn't get as hot as other cards (with onboard memory). I decided we didn't need the memory because we were using 4 X Crucial SATA 3 ( 6Gbps) SSD's (128GB X 4 C300 series). All four SSD's started drooling when they saw me unbox this card! You will NOT get the full performance from SATA 3 with the SATA bottleneck. A PCIe solution will allow SSD's to run at their full potential, even though TRIM is not supported. TRIM is not necessary with Garbage Collection and there are ways to TRIM the drives anyway

Was on sale + a few newegg point made it too good to pass up. Also the reviews were very positive (not true of all SYBA items). Adding this made the speed of my 2 SSDs absolutely fantastic. It does what SATA III is supposed to do. Changed my data drive from the onboard SATA II to the card and it worked. Takes 1-2 seconds to load a program and data.
