## Description

9300-16i 16-Port 12Gb/s SAS Controller HBA Card with P16 IT Mode for ZFS TrueNAS unRAID

Review: Excelente producto - Excelente producto, viene listo para usarse, solo hay que conectar los cables y listo, el software que trae pre-cargado funciona perfectamente en modo IT justo como lo menciona el vendedor. Como es bien sabido, esta tarjeta puede calentarse bastante entonces es una muy buena idea comprar un ventilador pequeño y un bracket para sujetarlo justo debajo de la tarjeta, así se mantiene a buena temperatura todo el tiempo. La he usado casi un año y ha funcionado sin ningún problema con 16 discos de entre 8TB y 24TB.
Review: Great for TrueNAS - Bought to use in my TrueNAS setup and it worked right away. No setup, no drivers, nothing extra required software wise to make this work. It was an instant drop in adapter to let my SAS drives to their thing.
