Question 1

Does this work with Windows 10?  What's needed to get it working if yes?

Accepted Answer

I am still on Windows 7 so I am not able to help answer your question.

Question 2

I have a new build with AM1 chipset. Does anyone have experience with this chipset and this card? reliable?

Accepted Answer

I bought this card as a replacement for an identical one that failed after a few years.  I used it in a RAID 1 setup.  The new card had the latest BIOS and was a simple swap out, with no issues whatever.  For a basic RAID controller, it works great.

Question 3

Is anyone using Windows 10 with this card yet? If so, is it stable? Is there a driver location?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Works fine for me.

Question 4

Will this work with an UEFI bios?

Accepted Answer

No where on syba's website does it say about the bios, though I do not see why it would not work, typically these types of cards are not bios dependent, they have their own bios that handles everything.

Question 5

I am planning on converting a Dell Optiplex 320 Desktop computer with a Celeron 3.06 GHz processor currently running Windows XP and make it a mail server for 5 low volume e-mail addresses running Linux and using Zentyal.   I need to use a RAID card for two 750GB hard drives I have not purchased yet.  I am planning on buying a SYBA SD-SA2PEX-2IR PCI Express SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card which I read was Linux compatilble.

Does this RAID card support Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS (kernel 3.5) Linux?

Thanks For Your Help.

Accepted Answer

I'm using this card on Crunchbang (Waldorf) which uses Debian Wheezy. Not sure if this gives you enough confidence to try, but the card gives me RAID options and works just fine in so far as the eSata functionality... although I've not had cause to set up a RAID using it yet.

Question 6

Does this card support 3 and 4 TB drives such as the WD Red WD40EFRX?

Accepted Answer

SiI3132 chipset has been tested OK with 4TB drives, but feel free to call the mfr if you have any doubts.
