Product ReviewsASUS PIKE 2008 LSI 8-Port SAS II SATA 6.0 Gbps RAID Card

Asus PIKE controllers is a strange beasts. But usable.

Well. PIKE format is specific to Asus. Motherboards, that accept these HBA's have some non-standard slot. Engineers tried to fit an optional SAS controller to extend MB functionality.
The same way as Supermicro do their UIO and WIO cards.
Overall, it is just a well known LSI2008 HBA that most ZFS fans like.
And yeah! I've bought it to have a 8xSAS6 HBA with all other slots free.Read full review...

Works as advertised

I am using an Asus motherboard in my Unraid build. I was able to flash this to IT mode and it works flawlessly. This was the cheapest I found. It was delivered a few days earlier than they said it would be.Read full review...

works perfectly

This has an LSI controller on it so it is much better for use in an UNRAID system as there are not lost or corrupted data like you get from the marvel controllers. Marvel works great normally but not in UNRAID.Read full review...
