Anyone tried this with Windows Server 2012 *R2*? (Support for this OS isn't specifically stated on the manufacturer's website as of 6/19/2014.)

I believe I had it running under server 2012. Hard to remember now since I got other one to run under esxi but I know for a fact it worked with Windows.

I have NOT gotten Highpoint boards to work in three different computers, three different board types with and without Highpoint's "fixes". Must just be me!

Yes, running it now in conjunction with the 2720 card to drive 12 SATA hard drives using Stablebit software JBOD. At one time I used the software JBOD on the 2720 while using RocketRaid's hardware bios on the 640L as a RAID 5 array. Worked fine, but too complicated.

I use it with win7 so I'd say there is a very good change it'd work with server 2012

My unit has trouble working with any of our Windows machines here (Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, etc.) It will take about a minute to create a directory, about a minute to rename it, cannot do a findfirst, cannot display files in any requested order (date, size). I see that other reviewers had no problem with theirs, so my troubles are possibly with my unit. But none of us trust the drive, and no one is using it.

Officially no, there are no drivers for any server series OS for the chipset.

Jumbo frames are supported. Do you intend to use for LAN? Mine are on webserver, so MTU is per ISP(1500). Required updated drivers to load on server boot reliably, but other than that, have worked fine for me hosting a dozen websites or so, but not high demand most of the time so nowhere near saturated. Good throughput best I can tell. Windows Server 2012 has no problem ganging via OS. Like this NIC just fine after using for datacenter use for webservers for 6 months. Should be fine for high demand LAN applications as well best I can tell.

No the windows enviroment will not pick up both as windows server will you would be better off buying a single processor board and going that route with a 12 core if trying to use for a game console

Yes it should. We are running a 2012 R2 environment with 2 hyper-v 2012 servers for testing.No through put problems. However make sure your switch is configuration supports NIC aggregation if its a smart switch. This setting can be ran and managed right from the 2012 R2 & 2012 server management console.Not sure if HP has a application for NIC aggregate like broadcom and Intel does. But the 2012 windows server series seems to handle and manage it just fine. We are also running the NICs and a single point of aggregation that gives us 4Gbps uplink to the network. It's fast!

Windows Server 2012 are being sold without any CAL. You have to get the 5-pack CAL in order to use that on the network.

Yes. It works well with 12.04 and newer. It also works well with the NAS4Free variant of FreeBSD.

I installed in a server2012R2 box but it was running on a desktop system and worked without problems..

I have it working with my HyperV-V Core 2012 server. Takes some research and some massaging of the Intel drivers after every MS update but this is also a lab environment for me. If I were to do it again though, I'd buy a more current adapter to avoid the hassle though.

I use this particular network adapter on a Windows Home Server with Windows XP and it works great. I would give it a try with Windows 98 and Windows 7 personally. You could possibly email or call Sabrent to get a more formal answer.

I'm using this card with an unRaid server (based on Slackware Linux) with no issues. Also, the manufacturer provides Windows and Linux drivers via its FTP site: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SAS/Marvell/MV8/SAS2/Driver/

I've run this on a Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 Server, it's fine. What's most important is that you have a USB or SATA port to plug this into. I found USB 3.0 to be flaky in Windows, so I've switched to SATA. That means it should run on nearly anything. I've even run it on my Mac.

I agree with Thomas T. It works on Windows 7 which shares hardware drivers with Server 2008. You can use the 64 bit Windows 7 driver on Server 2008. When in doubt check the manufacturer's web site. The spec sheet says it works with dang near every Windows version. OS Compatibility: Windows 8 (32/64bit), 7 (32/64), Vista(32/64), XP(32/64), 2000, ME, 98SE, 95 Windows Server 2012, 2008 R2 Good luck.

I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard on a Dell PowerEdge T110 II server and it runs great! I do not know about installing it on a Dell XPS X8700 though. What hardware requirements does your business software specify? I hope that this helps. Please feel free to send another email at mars10@comcast.net if you have any more questions. My name is Marshall.

That's exactly what I'm doing and why I bought this; however I am certainly no hardware guru. It takes a while for it to show upon explorer (4-5 secs), windows needs to read it, etc. I would go to the internet and find a forum that has a topic for hardware, giving them the model, intent, etc. Let me know what you find out. I am interested. My final goal it to set up a RAID, still need one more hard drive.
