Pros: -Cheap -Compatible with TrueNAS -Fast Transfering over single 10Gb from Windows -> TrueNAS RAID10 -> RAIDZ @ [~700-980 MB/s]

Cons: -open-box and not new -ships from China

Overall Review: I am liking the card, even though it appears to be an open-box item and not new. Finding a card with these specs, i.e. 4 x 4 (16 port SAS -> SATA) was surprisingly hard to find on the internet, in addition to finding a card that works with TrueNAS I am a bit concerned by the BETA message at boot and a few other factors, but will know more after I update BIOS on the card and look deeper into this message.

After discussing with Broadcom directly. Card sent to me it is old and out of manufacturing warrenty and was cloned ripped in china and sold under the LSI business.
