Solid 8-port SATA card. Linux compatible. No drivers needed.
Looked brand new. Worked right out of the box. Came with the latest firmware (v7). Using Linux (Centos 8 Stream). I skipped the built-in raid options (just so you know that this card does not have a battery to protect write-back cache) because I am using Linux mdadm: Therefore a non-issue for me. Running in "plain" mode does not require the HP Smart Storage Admin as all 8 SATA ports are presented natively. The card goes through its own diagnostics ahead of the motherboard BIOS. Using a pair of mini-SAS to SATA cables, all of my eight SATA drives are working with this card. The only thing I wonder about is that the small heatsink on the card gets noticeably hot, but this has not been an issue performing.

Great sata/sas controller for Linux
No need to flash, runs cool, and the management utility reports the temp. Better than the LSI based controllers in my opinion.

Worked as advertised…
A bit slow on rebuilds and expansions, but works as advertised. Hopefully, I won’t ever need it to rebuild or expand.
