What Raid levels dose this card have?

I returned my LSI card, because it wouldn't work on my Asus or Gigabyte motherboard. I have an Areca raid card now, but it works much better than the LSI. As for the specs, of the LSI here is the website. http://www.lsi.com/products/raid-controllers/pages/default.aspx

I haven't finished my build yet but it's supposed to do it all. I plan to do RAID 10 on my OS and RAID 50 on my data drive.

With a raid card you wont have to rely on getting the same motherboard chipset that the raid was created on which can be difficult a few years after purchase. You can just pop this in a new motherboard and it would just work without worries of having to reconfigure onboard raid and risk corrupting or overwriting the data already on the drives, which is way to easy to do.

It has 2 x 6Gbps SATA, 4 x 3Gbps. 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 1 x PCIe 3.0 x8 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 1 x PCI I think that's it.

It supports RAID 0,1, and 5, but these are drivers that are installed from the CD that comes in the box. Most bios come with RAID DRIVERS. Does it have a bios raid, no. Does it have raid drivers that the bios supports - yes.

Don't know. We purchased this specific drive as a replacement for a defective drive in one of our RAID systems

Yes, but why use this old card now for RAID? The SATA supports only 150 MB/s. Most new drives will be SATA III, 6Gb/s or up to 550 GB/s. Just my $0.02 worth.

Yes, this card can be used as non-raid. I used this card just to add an extra sata hard drive because my older MB only had two sata ports.

Hi, that depends on the configuration of your drives, if it raid 0,1 or 5, then it should see as a single drive, else, it wont be possible to see all the drives

If you are hooking this up to the Super RAID 2 board (3 slots) then check with the MSI website, there is a list of drives that work with their RAID boards.

Yes, the default is Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) which is like RAID1 but more versatile.

Hello fellow Transcend card user: First of all, I am not using my card in a RAID configuration. However, I do believe your assumption is correct. I have an ASUS MoBo and to access the installed RAID functionality of the MoBo, I have to attach the hard drives directly to a specific set of SATA III I/O ports. You may want to check your MoBo manual for such requirements. You may also want to pose this question to your Mobo manufacturer. Further, you may want to consider running your RAID configuration from a USB-3 and/or e-SATA external RAID enclosure. Hope this information can be of some help - Good luck.

As far as I can tell they should be the same. PCIe bus or RAID configuration are probably the bigger factors (same). There maybe some difference in individual drives but probably not. The difference in price with capacity pretty much made the choice.

I setup with RAID 1, according to instruction, it also support Raid 0, 5...

I use Raid 1, but I think they have raid 0 as well. By default they use an automatic mode called Synology Hybrid Raid that handles raid levels for you, that what I have and I have configured and so far I have seen no problems. Written in Panama City, Panama, on May 26 2013.

I am far from an expert on such things and do not know what you are trying to accomplish. Several things you should think about. This is an older 3GB/sec drive not the newer 6GB/sec drive. It takes 4 hard drives to do RAID 10. Does your motherboard support RAID 10? Does your mother board support 6GB/sec drives? The reason to use RAID 10 is speed and redundancy. If your motherboard supports 6GB/sec drives, these drives would not be your best choice. These drives are listed for RAID 0 & 1. I would guess that they should work fine in RAID 10. I use two in RAID 0 with no problems and have had two 320GB blue drives in RAID 0 for several years.

look here, windows 7 supports software raid http://www.buildegg.com/bewp/?p=44

No it does not. I got tricked, but after digging deep into MSI's support page I a chart that says it doesn't. Amazon and MSI's upfront easy to read marketing info is a bit deceptive on this one. It clearly says "Super RAID" on the features list. Not true on this board.
