Lots of space, well ventilated, light but sturdy.


*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

- Inexpensive, compared to other solutions - Includes the hardware for mounting drives and board


These are great.. enterprise reliable !






Well built case and came well packaged for shipping. Fans included, and lots of space.


Im running these in my HPE ML110 running proxmox. ZFS Performance is great, my VMs migrate between systems very quickly.


I gave this product full stars because is worked as advertised without issue successfully from day one for the last ninety days plus. This is after two failed attempts using the ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE and a six month hiatus. For details, see my Total Disaster Newegg review for that ASUS motherboard. Other than solid quality and solid reliability, it is difficult for me to review this Gigabyte board. The reason is that the board is most definitely designed to be a server motherboard. I configured it into a workstation motherboard.

It's a real beast! Works with my AMD Threadripper Pro 5975WX (also from Newegg) veeeeeery well. Note: - You have to upgrade BIOS to 2.a, otherwise can not boot. - It's cheaper than ASUS WRX80E-SAGE Pro, and I have to say, BETTER! - Too difficult to use ASUS WRX80E-SAGE Pro, which needs a BIOS updating too. However, I couldn't get ASUS BIOS Flash button & IPMI BIOS Flashing work. To verify these, I wasted money on SAGE MB, another 3955WX CPU and 8 x Crucial 16GB RAMs which are listed by ASUS. Good luck!

-Solid construction -Nice powder-coat finish -Interlocking segments made for easy construction -captive nuts -holes for standard 2" stem casters in all 4 corners (also had holes drilled for plate casters further in) -All in all well worth the money. I can see this lasting a long time.

clean nice finish affordable has some space
