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



very reliable.

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.




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

- Works out of the box on FreeBSD 11 - No issues with 4Kn drives




Able to use the three SAS hard drives I had purchased on a great deal. (At the time I didn't know SAS and SATA are not quite compatible -- they look similar!) (The unit will take four SAS drives, I 'only' have three.)






-Excellent SATA Card. Adds 4 ports and only takes up 1 slot. -All ports are real, rather than being port multiplied, or some other shennanigans. -Installing drivers was a breeze. Just fire up the device manager and point it to the correct INF files. Tested on Win7 x64, Win10 x64, and temporarily on Linux Mint. -No junkware required. I installed it anyway to check it out, but it works fine without. -Barely affects POST times. -Dipped to $25 CAD on sale! -4K speeds are on-par with my onboard. (very good; a reasonable card for SSDs) -I am using it for 6TB/8TB HDDs. Copies from one drive to another at maximum HDD performance. I wanted more space for recording and large projects.
