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


I thought that I had received the wrong drive. Acutally I had the wrong cable. And I should have known better. Once I got the correct cable, the boards work.


standard card, no drivers needed for OS


- Works out of the box on FreeBSD 11 - No issues with 4Kn drives

Blazing speed, I have this hooked to a LSI 9211-8i HBA running under Solaris 11 Express with 6 of these Hitcchi 1.5TB's configured in raidz current getting 275MB/sec read and 225MB/sec write w/ dd tests. 400-550 Mbps on 1 GigE NFS/iSCSI served up through COMSTAR stack running 20+ vSphere VM's with very good performance. ZFS Open Storage Server saves the day!



Great Raid card that's extremely Quick (would be perfect for lots of SSD's) Easy to Setup

-Recognized directly with Truenas -Well packaged in a plastic case to protect the card in shipping.


Using this card with the StarTech 8 bay full of drives (3-6TB) with no issues now for over a year. Much more reliable than USB. I like the setup so much I would like to add another 8 bay.
