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


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

Works with my desktop motherboard. Worked right out of the box with little effort. Fast. Using ArgusMonitor benchmark it reads 26% (414 Mb/s vs 329Mb/s) faster, but writes 8% slower (381Mb/s vs. 416Mb/s) than the on-board Intel RAID controller in a 4x2TB RAID 0 array. I can expand to more drives later.






Worked directly out of the box with my Asus P8H67-M EVO motherboard. Worked properly with Windows 7 pro 64 bit and Ubuntu 12.04LTS. No driver installation required. Just sat up and played. I have run speed testing under Ubuntu since it has a utility to do so and the speeds are comparable to the working port on my motherboard. (One SATA III port is not functioning.) Sometimes the testing flip flops, but again, the speed vs. the motherboard port is fine. In cached reads I get over 12 Gbyte/s on both the add-in card and the motherboard. Buffered reads ~189Mbytes/s. It was plug and play and both operating systems were happy as the bios handled it correctly.



*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

low cost. amazing for non raid proformance increase.




The LSI-9305 required no setup. Merely plug it in, connect the SAS cables to the backplane and poof, done. This card supports 3.0 and 6.0 gb/s hard drives and SSD's
