Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Works as advertised. Thats what i'm talking bout.

Works natively with macos (i'm using monterey), no additional driver required. Works great with my msi motherboard and system running windows 10. Supports smart. It is compatible with windows 7 and my msi motherboard.

The pexsat34rh is a sata iii 6gbps raid controller card with hyperduo ssd tiering. I use this card in a 2tb raid 1 (mirror) array with 6gb/s drives. Windows sees the raid array as a single drive and it works fine. Only flaw is no raid 5.

Cons

The card has good features but is really unreliable. My server keeps dropping the card as if it had disconnected. If you install more than one drive, the other drives drop to half speed.

Some raid cards get really hot, but the big heatsink on the startech barely warms up at all (in raid 1 mode at least).

Competitiveness

I use this card in a 2tb raid 1 (mirror) array with 6gb/s drives and it works great.

I've recently installed a wd black 8tb and a hgst ultrastar 12tb and both work beautifully at full storage capacity.

I have 4x 4tb wd red pro 7200rpm 256mb cache in raid 10, and write speeds definitely dropped ~20% through this raid card vs jus... Read More

I would have preferred to be able to create a single raid5 array instead of two raid1 arrays, but haven't found a product that ... Read More
