Awesome LSI card

Awesome card. I am using one splitter cords to serve 4 drives. I plan to add a second splitter cord so I can expand to 8 drives. I get all the speed from my shucked 8tb wd easy stores can provide. Can't complain. Didn't need to flash the card. Came in IT mode as the listing states. Price was right too! Was shipped on time. Buy it. You won't regret it. Read full review...

Dead after two weeks of use

Shortly after deploying the card in a home NAS solution with 4 x 8TB WD Red Pro drives, the card stopped working. I managed to setup RAID 1, install Arch Linux and setup FTP. Used that setup for two weeks but then card gave in. I tried using different drives, different computers, but couldn't get it to work. Read full review...

Picked up 2, have had zero issues

Originally bought one which i was using without issue and when i finally ran out of connections i picked up a second and with both installed i've got enough ports for my needs in this case. Using UnRaid and they were already in IT mode so plug-n-play worked without a hitch. Would recommend.Read full review...

Works perfectly

Works perfectly as expected, packaging qas decent and it arrived promptly.

I used it because i ran out of sata ports on my motherboard, though i have now found that the transfer speeds are faster using this than sata so.i have switched over several drives to it.Read full review...

Solid, stable performer.

Very solid piece of hit. Very stable and plenty fast enough for spinning hard drives. I've had no problems in my Proxmox server - it was recognised with no issues and has just worked. Much better than crappy RAID cards I had in the past.Read full review...

Works plug and play with TrueNas Core. Very fast shipping.

Product works plug and play with freenas core and I saw clear performance improvements with WD Red 6TB disks versus using on board sata controller from z77 chipset with 2600k. Screws are a bit tight when having to change the bracket, but it only requires the right screwdriver. Read full review...

TRUENAS works Fantastically with this expansion Card.

Wonderful, now have 8 more SATA ports for Drives on my TRUENAS server. Works great, Cables are a bit long for internal drives, but I can live with that.

Good price. No damage. Works like a charm.

Good card for a good price. Everything is working as it should. It was in IT mode upon arrival. Just make sure that the SAS controller clicks in and the drives get detected without any issue.
I tested the device on Unraid 6.12.4Read full review...

Great solution for storage expansion

The card worked well out of the box, was flashed to IT mode so no hassle of flashing firmware. I am using it in a TrueNAS SCALE installation. One thing to note: when installing this in a desktop chassis, its a good idea to have a small fan/some airflow going over this card to keep it cool.Read full review...
