Works out-of-the-box with various Linux distros using 4.x kernel (currently Debian Stable) Works well with mdadm Simple settings Works well/reliably/as advertised


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


Very fast. Did I mention it is fast. My CPU is fast, but this allows my CPU to not do any RAID parity calculations. Also, this has 1 GB onboard cache which does help with some file transfers. I mainly need fast sequential reads/writes with large files. Supports PCIe 3.0 and backwards compatible, which is good because Sandy Bridge CPUs do not support PCIe 3.0 :-( Future proof as these support 12 Gb/sec or excess of 1.2 GB/s if you have PCIe 3.0. My HDDs are too slow to take advantage of the speed, but it has helped in the RAID 5 though. The SSDs on it are insane.

Super fast file transfer Recognized all of my 24 WD 12TB HDDs upon drivers install without any issues. Comes in IT mode firmware preinstalled so great right out of the box. Extremely well constructed.






- Very inexpensive on NeweggFlash. - Simple install on both Win 7 32 & 64.



low cost. amazing for non raid proformance increase.




-Cheap -Compatible with TrueNAS -Fast Transfering over single 10Gb from Windows -> TrueNAS RAID10 -> RAIDZ @ [~700-980 MB/s]
