If you're looking to upgrade your old rig for modern solutions, the very first step is moving from hardware to software RAID (zfs or btrfs). This controller is special, since if has a unique passthrough mode among this generation's controllers, which allows to pass the drives directly to OS. It also removes the risk of single point of system's failure, which is controller failure. Never had problems with it. Works great with ZFS, especially recommended to be used on Proxmox.

Great to order something tested and ready to go without having to try and get it done DIY. There is a tremendous amount of value here for getting a device that unlocks the potential of your PowerEdge server.

this helped me out big time, I just plug and play it on my R720XD and just like that I can see all my drives without having to configure the RAID controller. Thank you! Highly recommended A+++++

Plugged it in and it worked just fine. I was able to start installing FreeNAS and build a pool with all my drives immediately. I'm very happy.

perfect substitute for DELL servers if you want to get rid of original RAID controllers. Works perfectly with Proxmox/ZFS newer installations and provides a quick upgrade while keeping PCI slots available.
