July 30, 20178 yr I just discovered this controller card sitting in a dusty box under my desk. The Amazon link shows it's a "PCIe 2.0 x2 HyperDuo Raid Controller Card" using a Marvell 88SE9230 controller. I know I've seen many mentions of issues with Marvell controllers, but I don't know if this is one of the ones that folks have had issue with. Also, I don't know if there's a way to get it to expose each disk individually or if it's locked into some form of RAID. Any thoughts or input? I have a feeling I tried using this in my server many years ago under 4.x or an early 5.x version, but I just don't recall. If I get a negative response, I'll be sure to print it out and stuff it in the anti-static bag so I don't have to ask again in a couple of years when I rediscover it again.
July 31, 20178 yr It should work fine with VT-d disable, it probably won't detect any disks wit VT-d enable, but even with virtualization disable they can be flaky, so not really recommended.
July 31, 20178 yr Author Thanks, @johnnie.black, I figured that was the case since it was just sitting in a box and wasn't being used. Anybody need a controller card? Available cheap! May not work well with unRAID.
