High-Speed Data Transfer
Some customers have had success using this PCI expansion card for high-speed data transfer in their servers, achieving write and read speeds of up to 500 MB/s. However, others caution against relying on it for managing critical data due to potential issues.
Drive Detection
Customers have had mixed experiences with drive detection on this expansion card. While some reported successful detection and integration of multiple drives, others encountered constant resetting and data corruption issues. The ASM1666 chip was a selling point for some, but the lack of easily downloadable Linux drivers and troubleshooting resources has been a challenge for some users.

Highlights
Quality
Super easy to install and it comes with the additional power cable adapters which was very useful.
Truenas was then able to read the drives including the serial numbers properly and perform smart tests as expected.
Warning:do not add your boot drive to this card which will cause your system to fail to boot the operating system of your choice.
Worked out of the box and plug n play with no driver issues.
Packaging/appearance
No cd came in the box but the card and cables were decently packaged.

Be careful using 6 connected devices because the total bandwidth for the device is limited to 1gbps

If you run a parity check will 6 drives all at the same time your speed will be limited to 150mbps per drive which is much slower than what they can actually do
