  • Solid SATA II performer

    This is one of the best affordable RAID cards on the market. It cost an arm and a leg when it was new but now it is very affordable. It is very flexible and offers the possibility of fully managing RAID arrays or making disks individually available to the OS. I have two cards and they have both been solid performers. The only disadvantage is that it is a SATA II card. If you can live with this then this is definitely the card to buy. Note that despite the dire warning the write cache has to be enabled and the StorSave profile should be set to Performance even if no battery unit is installed (you do have a good UPS for your server, right?). Otherwise the card will be painfully slow.

  • Too slow to be useful

    I purchased the 3 wire raid card to expand my current server but even with updated drivers the card is so slow I had to remove the card and go back to my onboard raid controller.

  • Good stuff!

    Older card, a bit slower, but still meets my needs. It was shipped quickly and packed well. Thanks!

  • Try Areca

    I have been using these since they came out. I had issues with these failing for no known reason in the past where I had a total of five failures to date. This card was used to repair one that failed. Raid cards are expensive, and as such I demand a more reliable solution. I tried an Areca brand and found that they are more cross-platform compatible and faster RAID 5/6 access speeds than this card. Although these AMCC 9650SE RAID cards are inexpensive and plentiful on ebay, I would recommend first buyers to avoid the possible headache by trying Areca.
