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

very reliable.

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



Takes 2 inputs, and allows 20 internal plus 8 external connections. Does appear to reduce bandwidth at all.




- Works seamlessly on reasonably recent Linux kernels - Cheaper (at retail) than previous gen 9300-16e - Uses less power than previous gen 16-channel cards. Previous generations used two chips, one per 8 channels; this latest gen card has a single chip. - Half-height (half-height bracket included in the box), unlike many previous non-OEM 16-channel cards, allowing better airflow in a desktop or workstation chassis where full-height cards interfere more with airflow.

expands storage. option rom loads fast, only adds a few seconds to boot time.


Works LSI Logic controllers just work better than anything else on the market. Perform great, and work reliably.


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.
