Has this card worked with a RAID 5 configuration?

I had not attempted raid yet, it does however afford me a score of 7.9 on win 7 x64 with a sata III SSD though....

You probably mean RAID 0 because RAID 1 is mirroring. I had it configured as RAID 10, it worked for a while until it failed but not because it was part RAID configuration.

Yes. I installed two of these into servers running windows 2012 server 64-bit running raid 5. However, this unit doesn't have built-in raid. You would still need a raid card or have a motherboard that has raid built-in to achieve raid 5 however.

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, that's what I currently have it running with. However do NOT use the drivers that come in the box for the raid controller.

It does not but it's default bios can raid for raid1 other than that u will red to get your own or a software raid.

In the past RAID has been a hardware supported function. I don't use this in a RAID setup as I only have two drives in it so far. You should view this as four separate USB to SATA bridges. Any RAID function you want to use will have to be 100% software implemented.

Raid 5 is much more complex computation-wise than RAID 0/1 and requires a more complex on-board processor to handle, thus it's rare to see on cards of this price range and if one at this price point offered it I would be wary of using it. Raid 5 can be implemented "poorly" and lose parity thus negating it's purpose. I would also recommend looking at other drive array solutions as RAID 5 has fallen out of favor in recent years. RAID 6, RAID 10 and things like ZFS have a lot more to offer these days. This card is great if you just need to add some disks or replace a faulty on-board SATA controller (why I bought it) Raid 5 is much more complex computation-wise than RAID 0/1 and requires a more complex on-board processor to handle, thus it's rare to see on cards of this price range and if one at this price point offered it I would be wary of using it.

The hot swap functionality should be located in the raid controller not the drives, aside from possibilly energy feature on drive. I think you have drive optimized for network storage.

I don't believe so; I have another RAID card in the system (not built in to the motherboard) and both work just fine together.

It has 10 SATA and 8 SAS/SATA but you have to add the PIKE card to get the SAS/SATA to activate. There are several PIKE cards availalbe, be aware that the PIKE 2008 only does RAID 1E. Research the PIKE cards carefully to be sure to get the one that will work with this board and also has the RAID config you want. I used the PIKE 2108 for RAID 5.

The card doesn't implement RAID, so if the device you connect to it supports RAID 1 it should work.

1) I've never seen anything like that -- and I check regularly for USB 3 cards (and also SATA III cards). 2) It is EXTREMELY unlikely ANYONE puts out a card that will do RAID with ESATA (as opposed to internal SATA). RAID is set up under the assumption that all the disks will be treated as a single unit. I don't know of anyone who would be using EXTERNAL drives for RAID. 3) Keep in mind that this is PCIe x ONE, not 4 or 8 or 16. That means it has limited bandwidth. You MIGHT be able to find a PCIe-x1 card that can handle 2-disk MIRRORED RAID (I think that's RAID 10), but with more disks (i.e., striping as opposed to mirroring), an x1 card probably couldn't handle the throughput of modern drives. You could still read and write to the drives, but there would be no speed advantage to using multi-disk striped RAID.

Unfortunately no. It only has e-Sata connections on the back. So you have to run it through the raid controller card.

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array. UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

Yes, It does.The Venus T5C uses the Jmicron 393 chipset as a HW RAID controller. I have used 5x4tb drives in one application with that controller and it works just fine. Just make sure that you sync your disks and unmount properly before disconnecting. You may have data loss if you don't, and in this case the controller will not hold the data till next startup.
