This was perfect for my husband he loves it and says that he has a great use for it. The fact that it can help on a computer and make it better that is what he lovers. So this product should do that for him. He has already started to put it in so I think he is very happy and it is doing what is is suppose to do. It seems easy to put it in also

The card is brand new and is a great option for a budget system at home. You can easily cross flash this card as an LSI MEGARAID (SAS2008 chipset) and use it as a passthru card and no RAID options. This will also give you a queue depth of 600 instead of the Dell 25. The single cable that comes with can connect two drives. Nice card.

This is exactly what I needed... sort of. This card runs a SAS2008 controller, which is shares by the LSI 9211 controller. I had to flash this card with the LSI firmware so that I could run it in IT mode in order to run a low-level format on a bunch of hard drives to change the logical sector from 520 to 512, which makes the drives I had acquired compatible with normal SAS controllers. It worked exactly as advertised, and will be a great tool for myself in the future.

This thing has a great reputation for a reason! Flashed to LSI firmware. I had to put a piece of electrical tape over two of the pcie pins to get my RAM to work with this card. It's apparently a well documented, but uncommon problem. Easy fix and the card works perfectly!

The controller works good as is but alternative firmware used to "dumb down" the controller and remove raid functions. Perfect for speeding up an older computer with 3GB/s SATA. SSD now get over 550MB/s speeds and before getting half of that. On the negative side the firmware take a long time to boot.
