Evan Prentice
Not for Beginners, Very Powerful Expansion Card for Home NAS.
Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2025
Verified Purchase
TL:DR; Good card, but you need to do some work to make it work properly. Runs hot, needs active cooling. Performance is way better than any onboard SATA controller.

**
Before I get into the review, here are some important points you need to understand before you buy, that are not in the product description and should have been.

- Mine was shipped with some really old firmware, looks like the release version, in pure SAS HBA mode.
- It is in fact two 3008 controllers working together to give you the 16 internal ports. Think of it as 2 cards in 1, working together.
- Both controllers need to be flashed, not just one.
- The firmware is hard to locate, and the flashing tools are primarily Windows.
- The connector on the card is a Mini SAS HD connector, properly called SFF-8643, which is important to know to get the correct cables.
- It runs hot, despite the big heatsink on it. If you only needed 8 ports, find the 8i variant of this card instead, it runs cooler.
- The card needs active cooling. I mounted a 92mm fan to it, which keeps it cool and running well.

If you buy this thinking it's a straight up drop in and run with it in your NAS box, you will be disappointed. You need to spend some time tracking down, and flashing a suitable IT mode firmware. There is a lot of leg work that will go into getting this card working in the average home lab/ NAS box. It's not too bad, but it took me days to track down suitable firmware and flashing tools. Not the end of the world, but that was not clear from the listing.

Buy the right cables, you need SFF-8643 connectors to connect to this card. Also not in the product listing. On the plus side there are lots of options for SATA break out cables that have the SFF-8643 connectors. These are also called Mini SAS HD, but confirm they are indeed SFF-8643, as there is also Mini SAS, which is a very different connector.

Not much of a review so far, I realize, so how about that? The review:

Easily connect 16 SATA drives to this card via a 8X PCIE Gen 3 connection. That's it. The performance crushes the onboard SATA controller. It really is a great card, once you get it setup....

I was not thrilled with the packaging when I received it, but it was intact and in perfect shape. The card appeared to be "new" old stock, and not a working pull. Everything looked new, and it still had that new expansion card smell. I plugged it into a test bench system I have, and it came up right away; BIOS load wasn't too slow either. It was seen by a Linux install right away, which was great.

I determined almost right away it was not in IT mode, which was not so great. Thus began the week long search for the correct firmware, and the flashing tools. Unlike a lot of enthusiast grade hardware, things like drivers and firmware and flashing utilities are basically locked up behind a Broadcom wall of obfuscation and generally annoying portals. That was the first problem.

I can't link to firmware, or help much with that. You are looking for the 16.00.12.00 firmware in IT mode. It is out there and available, it's just hard to find. You are looking for the sas3flash utility, which is fairly easy to find for Windows. There is a Linux version, but that one is near impossible to find. I did, and it does exist and work. It was just very hard to find. The firmware comes in 16e and 16i versions to boot, be sure to flash the correct one.

The card architecture means there are two 3008 controllers on board, each providing 8 ports. It is possible to only flash one of these, leaving the other unflashed. Be sure to flash all controllers in your flash command, or you can end up in a bad state. In addition there is also a BIOS flash file for the onboard BIOS, which you may also need to flash. This is separate from the controller flashing. Just be aware of it, and that you might need to flash that. I had to flash the BIOS before I could flash the controllers.

Flashing done, I could now see the drives I connected to the controller for testing, and this is where it gets good, so to speak. I connected and tested a few of my older drives with it, and it worked great; mostly. That heatsink got hot. Not warm, but hot enough to burn me slightly. This is where I learned the next caveat to this card. It runs hot. Really hot. It is designed to be in a rack mount chassis in a climate controlled data centre, with some really loud fans pushing a huge volume of air across it. The inside of my NAS box this is going to live in is nothing like that.

I 3D printed a 92mm fan shroud that mounts to the heatsink directly out of ASA, and ran another test, this time with active cooling. The controller stayed reasonably warm, but no longer got hot. That is something to be aware of, this card needs active cooling. A 120mm fan at the front of the case isn't going to cut it. You either need to have this in a case with fans directly below the expansion slots, with this card directly facing those fans, or you need to add a fan shroud and fan to the heatsink. I've seen lots of reports of it running fine without, while being very hot at the same time. I can't imagine that will be good for the card long term, or for the performance. Actively cool this, and do not rely on the basic airflow in your case to do so. Fans directly blowing against the heatsink are required to keep temps reasonable.

Flashing and cooling solved, I moved it into my Unraid box, and it came up perfect. All drives were visible on the first boot. Performance of the array definitely improved, and I can visibly see the performance hit from the onboard SATA controller compared to this SAS card. It has been in my Unraid system for over a month now, no issues, no errors, just good reliable performance. I am very pleased with it, and sad I didn't go this route years ago.

Why 3 stars, especially considering I like the card so much I ordered another one? It's simple. The product description is missing details that are important to actually using this successfully. No details about the firmware version it will come with. No details about the SFF-8643 connectors. Given how hard it is to find details on these cards, especially the firmware and tools, it would have been a good idea to pre-flash these cards to the latest firmware in IT mode. I know what I'm doing now, and have the firmware + tools to do it. The actual flash process is ~5 minutes. I would have rather paid $10 ~ $20 more, to get a card already flashed in IT mode with the latest firmware. A turnkey experience would have changed this review. Providing details about the SFF connector would have saved me time when I ordered the wrong cables initially. Mini SAS =/= Mini SAS HD. I work in the IT industry, and have for 20 years, though more on the software side. This was more challenging than I anticipated, and much more difficult to move forward with. I can only imagine how hard this would be for an enthusiast building out their first NAS. That is why 3 stars instead of 5.

To the seller, if you want to see 5 star reviews, update your product details. Spell out the exact cables needed, SFF-8643. Charge a little more, and flash these to the 16.00.12.00 firmware in IT mode. Spell out the need to cool these actively. Make this a turnkey experience for your buyers, where they just need to drop it into their home NAS, and it just works. This would have been 5 stars from me, but is hurt by the lack of details in the product description, and the difficulty in actually finding the right files to flash the card.

If you're technically inclined, pull the trigger. This is a great card that works very well, once you've jumped through the hoops to update it correctly. If you're new to this type of thing, maybe look for a pre-flashed option that is a simpler design like the Dell H200's.

Pros:
- Great performance.
- Once setup it is basically plug and play with any Linux I tossed at it.
- Easily add 16 SATA ports to your home NAS that will outperform anything on the motherboard.

Cons:
- Old firmware.
- Not in IT mode.
- SAS connector not specified in the description.
- Very hard to find the correct files and info to flash this card, especially in Liunx.

Faulty card
Reviewed in Canada on September 9, 2025

This was my first time buying a card like this and I spent days troubleshooting to figure out what was wrong and after all that effort it pointed to a faulty card. One of the major issues is the breakout cables are specific depending on use but the cables bought on �鶹�� aren't labeled so despite the item listing you're not sure if you have the correct cables. Long story short 4 break out cables later and multiple firmware flashing and troubleshooting later card was at fault and the new one I purchased worked out of the box.
