Pros: 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.
Cons: The one downside was I needed to replace my SAS cables as the old ones were 8087 on both ends.
Overall Review: Would definitely recommend this card for a home enthusiast that just wants a jbod setup.
