Great way to add extra SATA ports to your motherboard.
Just built a new pc using Asus maximus hero XI board. Needed more data ports than the 6 on board (quickly use them up with SSD, raid HDD and optical disk etc).The LSI card is a recommended enthusiasts board for adding up to 8 more SATA ports and having the processing done off motherboard at good bandwidth.Happy to say, it worked like a dream. Inserted card, booted up and the disks were available for management within windows disk management tool. The card had been flashed to "IT" mode which means windows can see it, so I didn't have to mess with the flag firmware.I configured the disks as raid mirrors and let the card get on formatting and bringing the volume online.I now have 2xraid mirrors (4 SATA ports) working from the LSI card with capacity for 4 more ready as I add new HDDs.Couldn't be simpler.
