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



very reliable.

It worked with no fuss: shut down ubuntu, popped in the card, hooked up a drive, powered up and there it was in the drives app.


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

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


Fast. Copying from my old computer to this one across gigabit ethernet uses well over half the available bandwith. The write speed is just so much better than the on board Intel raid. For another 250, you can add another 15 or 20 drives if you have that need, search for "intel raid expander." And did I say fast. Good tech support.



Plug 'n Play , no headache. Using with a 3Ware 9550 raid card. No issues, no problems. It just works.

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.

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

Amazing value for money. I'm using this on the Asus P6T Deluxe v2 X58 motherboard with 4 Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200.12 hard drives for general purpose storage and high definition video editing. The RAID 0 array was fairly simple to setup after stumbling around the RAID BIOS GUI. It has been running for 10 months+ without any problems at all. It adds exactly 14 seconds to boot time, which is not much. When SSD's eventually drop in price and increase in capacity, they are an obvious upgrade path as this card has incredible low latency to meet unique requirements of SSD's (with 6Gb/s interface support to boot). Nothing this inexpensive provides near the performance.

Low cost Sata 3 speeds over data 2 Plug and play for windows 10,
