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

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


*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

Fast, Stable, Quick booting.


Works and provides the additional ports I needed<p> Easy Installation<P> Came with Latest Firmware and in IT (HBA) mode<P> It is not a Raid Card<P> This is a Budget <b>Enterprise</b> card not a Sata Card<P> Get these https://www.newegg.com/p/0PS-00E0-01MH5 to attache a 40x40x10mm Fan for added cooling. Doesn't need much

Very fast. Did I mention it is fast. My CPU is fast, but this allows my CPU to not do any RAID parity calculations. Also, this has 1 GB onboard cache which does help with some file transfers. I mainly need fast sequential reads/writes with large files. Supports PCIe 3.0 and backwards compatible, which is good because Sandy Bridge CPUs do not support PCIe 3.0 :-( Future proof as these support 12 Gb/sec or excess of 1.2 GB/s if you have PCIe 3.0. My HDDs are too slow to take advantage of the speed, but it has helped in the RAID 5 though. The SSDs on it are insane.


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



* 16 6 gb/s ports with a totol throughput 12,888 MB/s * 16E HBA + JBOD + ZFS = legacy hardware raid killer * Ability to expand to 1024 disks.


Works like a charm in a W2K8 R2 custom server. Attached drives immediately showed up after installation, so I didn't bother with drivers. I didn't measure performance, but it seems on par with the same drives attached to directly to mobo.
