I bought this product last year (January 2019), and it stopped working on 29 February 2020. The motherboard won't even start with this card plugged. And my PC case is well ventilated, so it's not related to heat.I strongly recommend to avoid this product: clearly not worth it.

Works perfectly under Windows. The drivers for the additional windows control don't seem to be available (the website is a bit of a mess!) but this does not impact functionality, just set up raid arrays using the bios controls. The hardware is plug and play and best to configure at the hardware level rather than in windows anyway.

The PCIE card worked out of the box fine on my Fedora Linux machine, but the card only links up at PCIE x2 speed giving a max PCIE bandwidth of 10Gbps. I intend to use the card for SSD SATA ports and I can only use two ports at once if I don't want to oversubscribe the PCIE bandwidth.

電源投入時にスクリーンがなかなか表示されないところからつまづきました。いまだに訳が分かりません。とりあえずディスプレイの方のVESAを含むオートパワーオフを切るしか無い様ですが、こちらではよく分かりませんでした。たまたま表示されたスクリーンを見た所、ディスクが一部しか見えない様です。IDは飛んでいるのでチップとしては存在を検知している可能性は有りますが、システムとしては存在しない事になる様で、私の所では本当に全部で4ドライブしか見えませんでした。ポートマルチプライヤー対応で物理ポートが４つって？チップの制約ではなくファームの制約の様で、RAIDの設定が可能な様です。でもそれなら同一メーカーでも別のカードを買うと思いますが、どうなんでしょうか？ポートマルチプライヤの動作もちょっと良く分からない動作をしている様です。ポートマルチプライヤ自体は動作しているのは間違いないのですが…？という訳で、HDD BOXでRAIDを構成して４台接続するまで、当面使う予定は有りません。

Simplemente excelente, dos puertos SATA III extra en mi PC, eso sí por lo que leí (no lo he probado) el RAID no es para dos discos iguales, sino solamente para Discos virtuales de un SSD y un HDD, pero no lo compré para raid sino para un puerto esata extra y un disco interno, al mismo tiempo. Funciona perfecto. las velocidades son decentes.Hasta ahora no tengo quejas.P.D. Se desconfiguró el BIOS una vez que la instalé es cosa de volver a configurar.ES muy muy pequeña jejejejeje

This thing rocks! Put it in old Pentium-4 server to add a 4TB hard drive. Flawless.

I installed it inside my old HP desktop because I ran out of SATA ports after adding a Samsung SSD. No problem with installation. However, once in a while, when I turn my computer on, it won't recognize the hard drive I attached to it. Rebooting solved the problem. My computer is more than 3 years old and heavily used everyday. So I am not sure if this is a problem of the card or my old computer.Strange though, the benchmark is a little bit lower when I attach my Samsung EVO SSD (SATA3) to this card (SATA3), than attaching the same SSD to one of the SATA2 ports on the motherboard. That is a bit disappointing. The motherboard has PCIe 2.0 bus.

This SATA III Controller is not expensive, easy to install and performing very well.Contrary to my previous SATA III Controller this HighPoint is troublefree and is not producing Windows Crash with Blue Screen of Death.Highly recommended

This has been in my NAS for years and I've yet to have an issue.

Windows ou Linux pas besoin de drivers spécifique, tout est reconnu directement, perf correcte (PCIE 1x). Pas de soucis de compatibilité sur une Asus P5QSE2, j'ai également ajouté une autre carte contrôleur a base de chipset MARVELL 88SE9170 et pas de soucis non plus.

Great item, perfect for the price, easy install and works as specified, would recommend as a better satanic link than the speed of older sata motjerboarda

Bought it in March, died by Aug. Not good when it is my file server and works hard all day long.

This HighPoint Rocket 640L just works--no issues with my system seeing it in a PCI-e X16 slot and getting twice the speed of my on board SATA2. I highly recommend this controller if you are using it with the Samsung 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD512 512 Gig SSD. I can't comment on any other SSD compatibility, but I suspect that it will work with many of them if not all of them. You also get 4 ports instead of 2 ports. For your reference, please see the review that I wrote for the Apricorn Velocity Solo X2 Sata3 controller just below that has only 2 ports and causes continuous boot loops when the Samsung 512 Gig SSD is attached to it. I'm enclosing the reviews of other products to help consumers who are looking to upgrade their system with a Samsung SSD and avoid wasted time and returns headaches.Review of Apricorn Velocity X2: Purchased this controller (Apricorn Velocity X2) to work with a Samsung Pro Series MZ-7PD512 SSD (512 Gig), directly from Apricorn because there was going to be a shipping delay purchasing it through Amazon. My 5 year old mother board could see the SSD, and I was able to attach the SSD directly to the SATA2 on the MB and do a fresh install of Win7 64bit--no problems. When I installed the Apricorn controller in my system in a PCI-e X16 slot my system wouldn't boot and did continuous boot loops. I purchased a HighPoint Rocket 640L, put it in the same slot, plugged in the SSD, and no worries. Doubled my speed when measured with crystalmark. I also plugged in my old hard drives (3 of them) and they were a little faster as well rather than leaving them plugged into the MB Sata2 slots. I called Apricorn, talked to technical support 3/28/2013, and they admitted that they had just discovered that the Samsung SSD and new Corsair did not work with their controller--and they had no fix for it yet.Their solution is elegant from the standpoint that you don't need any mounting hardware and cables, but it just doesn't work with all SSDs. You might want to contact Apricorn tech support to verify that it works with your SSD before purchasing. But, the HighPoint 640L has 4 ports instead of 2, comes with 4 cables, and costs $30 less at $69 here on Amazon. My system immediately recognized the HighPoint, no booting issues, and double the speed of Sata2--a no brainer.As a point of reference, I upgraded from Win XP 32bit with 3gig ram to Win 7 64bit 24 gig ram and added the SSD. My boot time dropped from over 4 minutes to just under 1 minute with shut down time dropping to 7 seconds from 1 minute. All of my apps just blip on the screen. Load times are completely insignificant now. As I write this I have 139 processes running and 172 programs installed (7 running), and my system still starts quickly and loads apps and data like blips on the screen. FireFox 19 used to take 30 seconds to load. It's my slowest loading program at 3 seconds, because I leave a dozen to 20 tabs open from my previous sessions, which uses tremendous resources on the computer. I can't recommend enough doing this type of upgrade. I've been in the computer industry since 1981, and I finally have the nearly perfect speedy system. Good luck with your new installation...
