Stopped recognizing hard drives within 2 weeks, doesn't have latest firmware
Card died and stopped recognized my hard drive within 2 weeks. Went as far as connecting a small Noctua fan via zip tie to the heat-sink, as I have read these card run hot, but that did not prevent the card from dying. Another note, card was flashed with P13 firmware instead of P16 firmware. P13 has a pretty well-documented bug resulting in SAS controller crashing and resetting when hot-swapping. While that may not be an issue if you do not plan to use the hot-swap function; for the price you are paying I would expect the latest firmware to be flashed on the card.
