Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Dell hbas are lsi cards that are re-branded and have a custom firmware for dell installed. This one works with 54tb of spanned drives, and my hot swappable drives (which had been a real pain until now) bought 2 pack sf-8643 cables from amazon sold by ... Read More

After installing into my server and booting, i let the server sit idle for 24 hours to see if i'd have to come up with a cooling solution for it. The card's heatsink is touchable in my server case compared to being almost untouchable in the test syste... Read More

Worked out of the box in a lenovo ts460 server when plugged in to the factory drive cage. Just plugged in the drives and truenas recognized everything right away. Has been running stably under high load for several days.

The card pushes out at 12gb/sec, making data availability extremely fast. It adds a bit of time to the startup sequence, but that's to be expected. Getting 480mb/s transferring from a ssd to nvme.

Cons

The device was already flashed to firmware p16. Swapped cables, different mobos and ports but to no avail.

Quality

Working great with seagate nytro 3131 sas3 dual channel drives on an amd 5950x/asus x570 board.

Older card but no problems at all with truenas core.

Went through multiple cheap sata expansion cards causing zfs errors to falsely show up on my drive pools, degrading them before... Read More

0 x2 sata expansion card that prevented a new amd am5 motherboard from booting, i finally bought this sas card and will never go back.

Price

I'm glad i spent the money to purchase this considering they can be a little pricey when you consider it's being used in a pers... Read More

I have been through a couple cheaper ide cards.

Shipping

They were fast to ship me a new faceplate.

Arrived in the time frame stated by amazon, well packaged and undamaged.

The shipment was pretty fast from the usa to south africa.

I'm just docking them a star for not shipping exactly what was advertised for and having to put in extra legwork to swap the firmware.

Packaging/appearance

This card came stamped lsi, and cables are not included.

That said, this hba card arrived in a bag (oem static) along with a generic driver cd and instruction sheet.

The package itself was wrapped well enough, though there was some denting and deformation to the exterior packaging.

Competitiveness

Compatible with freebsd which means it will also be compatible with truenas as well as many other bsd variants.

Technically speaking, the dell hbas are lsi cards that are re-branded and have a custom firmware for dell installed.

Other than that, all i can say is that to me, this card was well worth the money since i couldn't find anything similar availab... Read More
