Review: Great little cards even under pressure - Using these in two of my proxmox nodes with 8x 16tb Exos drives each (ZFS 2). Heavy use, always on. 8 daily users, surging to 22-24 several times a month. Streaming, AI workloads, gaming and game development, daily backups... just a lot going on, those platers are always spinning it seems. I bought extras just because I am old and have a habit of buying extras of anything that tends to fail, no issues in over a year of service. And in my experience in IT if its going to fail, it happens in the first 90 days or after 5 years.
Review: Easy install and upgrade firmware, works flawlessly - Why did I wait so long to get this card?! I have been fudging around for a couple of years trying to use add-on cards to get good performance and reliable operation at an affordable cost out of a system with 10x drives arranged as Linux raid 1 and raid 10 arrays. This card cost only ~$20 more than PCIe-1x 4 port cards and delivers MUCH more performance while taking up a single PCIe-8x slot. I have all drives running at full SATA-III (6 Gb/sec.) speeds now with ZERO issues. I was worried about this card/driver combo recognizing my Linux software raid arrays - as to rebuild and restore these would take at least a week. This card recognized all the arrays straight out of the box! My card came with v. 18 IR firmware installed and based on what I had read up here and other places I expected I would need to re-flash the firmware, so I had downloaded the IT F/W v. 20 earlier and had what I needed on hand. The re-flashing process went without incident using a Freedos formatted USB stick with the necessary utilities. UPDATE: Just bought my second of these cards at a significant discount. The card functions flawlessly with v19 IT firmware running Linux software raid with card in JBOD (passthrough) configuration. A word to the wise - if running Linux S/W raid you will need the IT (not IR) version of the firmware and NOT the newest v20 - v19 is the best. v20 has documented issues when simultaneously reading and writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working fine to add more SATA ports
*by M***X on May 31, 2023*

The LSI SAS9211-8i card is what I'm reviewing. I have it connected to a Lenovo Expander board for my 16 SATA drives. My Asus Prime Z590A motherboard was a little picky with it; Eventually I was able to boot in CSM mode, access the card's BIOS and disable the boot option. After that I was able to boot in UEFI mode and all is good. I have the card in an x4 slot, as I have a gpu installed in the first Pcie slot. This took some patience with mobo BIOS; installing the card in the first (x16) slot, changing the slot speeds to x2, rebooting, etc, before I could install in the second slot (x4) and put my gpu back in the first slot (x16/x8), then changing the Pcie slot speeds to Auto. Note that the card is supposed to run in at least an x8 slot! For my SATA drives I'm getting max speed with the card in the mobo 2nd Pcie slot at x4 speeds however. I don't fault the card for any of the setup hassles but instead the Asus mobo BIOS. But through trial and error, no more boot problems and all is working fine. I'm monitoring the drives through the MegaRaid Storage Manager (MSM) which can be found on the Broadcom site. BIOS and Firmware on the card appear to be fairly current, although this is old tech. Windows 11 installed drivers that are working just fine. I'm happy with the purchase.
