Syba 4 Port SATA III PCI-e 2.0 x1 Controller Card Marvell 9215 Non-Raid with Low Profile Bracket SD-PEX40099

Working well in a FreeNAS disk-server box I built. This gives me 4 extra ports, in addition to what's on the motherboard (6 in an awful lot of cases, though some expensive modern ones have more). Many cases have 6 internal bays for 3.5" drives plus 3 exposed bays for 5.25" drives, so by adding a "4-in-3" drive cage and this card, you can build a 10-drive storage server out of spare motherboards and a spare case. That can be a very useful backup server still. (Building and managing your own storage or backup servers is taking on a big responsibility of course, if your data is of any value even to you personally. I *very* strongly recommend the ZFS filesystem for this sort of thing, available in FreeBSD as well as Solaris, and I often use the FreeNAS storage appliance distribution which is based on FreeBSD with a pretty good GUI to manage the storage. In addition to redundant disk arrays, you need actually monitor them so you know when something broke so you can replace it before something *else* breaks, and you should have a good backup scheme. Which is why secondary servers can be so important.)

No problems at all after a few months of use. Speeds are as expected and it was as simple as plug & play. Very pleased with this 4 port SATA III card. Now I can add even more drives to my CM Storm Trooper. I'm glad I got the model in which all SATA ports are facing the rear, it made installation look nicer and was easier to do. I did notice it has to initialize at boot time, when I'm watching my screen boot into Win8, a screen pops up before windows starts that has the Sata drives I have connected. It disappears in a few seconds, I haven't noticed any performance issues as of yet.

Works good with Windows 2012r2 with powersaving and smart status. As fast as onboard.

Allowed my old PC with a legacy bios (not UEFI) to see the full capacity of a 4TB hard drive, instead of just the 2TB limit imposed by the bios and motherboard. Win 7 already had the needed drivers.

It just works. Good speed and has been reliable so far. Was recognized and configured by BIOS and Windows 10 automatically - truly plug and play.

I have a dell optiplex 990. I was trying to add some hard drives io it for a server build,but with this card in the pcie slot, it would never boot properly.

Got a bad one. Drives connected come and go. Not reliable to use. :(

Works perfectly in my Win 7 media server. Not using for an OS drive but for backups. Using 4TB WD hard drives no problem. System: AMD 5350 Gigabyte MB 8GB ram OnBoard Graphics

... Erweiterungskarte, wenn es mal eng werden sollten mit den SATA-Ports (wie in meinem Fall). Mein Mainboard verfügt leider nur über 6 SATA-Ports. Leider zu wenig für mich. Nun habe ich ja 4 Ports mehr :-). Der Einbau ist kinderleicht. Beim einschalten meldet sich gleich das BIOS der Karte und signalisiert ob das angeschlossenen Laufwerk überhaupt erkannt wird (bei mir erine 3 TB Toshiba HDD). Treiber installation war auch nicht notwendig. Unter Windows 10 Education 64 Bit wurde sie sofort, mitsamt HDD erkannt. Die die einzelne RAID-Funktionalität kann ich leider nichts berichten, da ich RAID für mich privat nicht benutze. Kaufempfehlung. Sie Tut was sie soll

Mal producto no sirvio el adaptador, apesar de decir que es sata iii, al conectarlo solo servia como sata i a 150mb/s, tal vez la tarjeta que me llego era la que no servia

C'est un composant très utile, il fonctionne très bien, Je le recommande.

Controller di ottima qualità con chipset Marvell 88SE9215. L'ho utilizzato per gestire 4 SSD SATA e va benissimo! Drivers scaricabili dal sito ufficiale SYBA per qualsiasi S.O. oppure reperibili ovunque facendo qualche ricerca rapida. Questo modello, inoltre, ha la possibilità di collegare il led del case per visualizzare l'attività degli HDD/SS collegati. CONSIGLIATO!!

Needed a few more SATA 3 ports for a 2nd RAID in a 5 year old PC. Works perfectly, no setup or driver issues using Linux (OpenSUSE 42.2).
