Worked better than expected,
First, I didn’t install the drivers because I am not using their software for RAID. I am using it in a Windows Home server 2011 box and WHS recognized the card right off. I was even able to use the card for the boot drive without fuss. I have three SATA III drives attached to it. It has been performing 24/7 now for a month. No re-boots or dropped drives. I wasn’t hoping for the fastest card, RAID, just more SATA slots. I am using it in a Intel DQ45EK 775 mini-itx motherboard with Windows Home Server 2011. The card is being used, besides the boot drive, as media storage for 2 2T drives, WD Reds. For what I need, this card is an excellent purchase for the price/performance.

Works and had 4 internslnports for a good price.,
We had to look for a while to find a card that had that many internal ports and not be overpriced.

Does what it says,
Put this in my Windows 8 media server to use with storage spaces (4 x 3Tb WD Green EZRX). Detected without a fuss, and I was up and running in the time it took me to open the case, pop in the card, and connect the sata cables.
