I've seen a lot of use with Windows. Has anyone successfully used this card with Linux? Specifically Debian Linux?

It's a standard "Asmedia 1061 SATA Host Controller", backwards compatible with standard AHCI controller.I would assume that will work under Linux too. Actually the latest Win drivers don't support TRIM on SSD - while with standard AHCI works (or with older Windows drivers).

I've been using it since February without any complaints, but it would be even better if it would be possible to use linux instead of Windows 8.1. Unfortunatly Asus does not provide any support to linux.

It appears to on at least Debian-based systems. I have not tried personally, but googling "h530 linux" gives some forum posts that suggests it works.

I am running debian on mine. The only issue I encountered is that installing the wireless driver was annoying.

It worked on Damn Small Linux with driver installs, but I don't know if it would work with any other distro. The laptop I used it in is quite old, so DSL and Puppy were essentially the only distros I could install.

Yes it does work with all Linux versions. Intel has a driver for this card. If it's not included with your distro you can download it from Intels website. As far as freeBSD you would have to check with Intel and see if they offer a driver and also check the hardware compatability list for freeBSD. I have this card running in a dual boot with Windows 7 and mint 17 and both cases it worked out of the box.

i gave up on pro and win 7, 8.1 has more features. but it dose work with linux. im sure if it was a driver problem you could contact efomart and they would be happy to help. windows 7 and eight find it by themselves. lol linux use's it's own drivers. i did have a small problem when i set it up it put in 2 devices. i deleated one and it worked just fine. but i use win 8.1 so as far as pro goes i dont know.

Doesn't work with every OS at least, i tried it with Linux Mint 17, Ubuntu 14..04 and Debian Wheezy. Maybe with Windows, but i don't think so.

I'm also looking at this laptop myself. I've been wondering if it will run fine with Linux, and from the input here things are looking good! I'm looking to run Debian, probably the testing branch as it has a little more up-to-date kernel and software, but I'm also considering Arch. That distro is always on the bleeding edge so the most recent software should (hopefully) pick up every piece of hardware on this machine.

I haven't tried it with linux, but the windows driver will not work, you have to find one for linux

I'm using this card right now on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit desktop, and it works great. I've got it hooked up to my HDMI television and a DVI monitor and I've never had any trouble with it recognizing either.

I currently use this board with PClinuxOS (my main, and preferred OS) and have had no problems with it. I have not used the wireless because I am close enough to my router to use a cable, but it does detect my network so I assume it should work fine. I can't speak to the performance of the onboard video because I use an nvidia card, but it is supported as far as I know.

Don't know about Linux. I've only used it with Windows 7 & 8.1 & it works fine with both of those.

finding the driver software is a nightmare but yes it is compatible I would suggest XP or Linux Ubuntu the card ran fine with Linux but not the best with 7

says on side of box works with windows. and 350 watt power supply req. so no mention of linux. says directx by ms. so might not work. email the mfg if want to.

Yes, otherwise the card won't be seen by the OS when you start up. The card has worked flawlessly for me (Win8.1 Pro x64), and the drivers are recent from the company website.

No answer for using it with a Linux system, but works great with my home brew set up.There are way bettercamers, but have no complaints with this one.
