- 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



Fast, Stable, Quick booting.

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.

Works as advertised.

This card replaced three 8 disk SAS cards in my system. This card simply just works without any issue. I have been running it for about 8 months with 21 data disks and 3 parity disks in a FlexRAID configuration that recalculates parity every 24 hours. Given how dynamic some of my data is the parity recalculation cycles can be a couple hours long and this card is rock solid with that really heavy i/o.

I added this interface to a Proxmox VM system to add SSD drives to a virtual NAS machine. Proxmox easily identified the controller and I was able to pass thru the SSD's to the NAS.


Does what it is needed for. Have had no errors with it over the multiple builds I have used these cards in. Stable as a rock.




Works well. I bought both the main board and the card.
