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.
Just wanted to add a few extra steps for the trouble I ran into.
First, prepare your USB drive to boot in UEFI
This will erase your USB drive or other drives if you don't know what you're doing, so be careful.
Plug in your USB drive
Open command prompt as administrator
diskpart
list disk
-find your usb drive in the list
select disk #
-where # is the number of your usb drive like
ex: select disk 8
clean
-clean will DELETE all data on usb drive or other drive if you aren't careful selecting.
convert gpt
-This makes your usb drive of type gpt so you can boot in uefi mode
exit
exit
Now create your fat or fat32 partition as boris guide shows and continue his guide.
Another tip that got me stuck for an hour and was my computer's fault, but can hopefully help someone else out.
Make sure when you download the Shell_Full.efi that your browser actually downloads the entire file.
The filesize should be 754KB or 753KB.
Not realizing this, I spent an hour trying to get a Dell T320 to boot to efi shell when in reality the issue was my browser stopped downloading and said completed at only 90KB.
Other than that and wishing for a windows flashing utility, it works great.
I've been running this for a few weeks now on an Ubuntu server box. No drivers were needed and it's been 100% stable. This card is a huge step up in reliability from the HighPoint Rocket HBA I was using previously. Would definitely recommend for the price as a JBOD card if you're happy to flash the card to IT mode.
Note that the card is designed to have airflow over it, but it doesn't require much to keep it at a reasonable temperature.

I've been running this for a few weeks now on an Ubuntu server box. No drivers were needed and it's been 100% stable. This card is a huge step up in reliability from the HighPoint Rocket HBA I was using previously. Would definitely recommend for the price as a JBOD card if you're happy to flash the card to IT mode.
Note that the card is designed to have airflow over it, but it doesn't require much to keep it at a reasonable temperature.
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.
I was hoping this card would be a drop-in and it was: I just unplugged the SAS connector from the old Adaptec card and discarded it, installed this one and plugged in the SAS cable. That's pretty much all there was to do: my old drives were recognized without problems and I was ready to go in no time -- and I have a spare SAS port in case I want to add external storage (although I'm only using two of the SATA lines to the expander cage).
I've only been using it for a few days so I can't speak for its reliability, but in terms of capabilities for the price, it's a winner.
Recommended.
