Review on LSI Logic MegaRAID Controller LSI00295 by Black Croom

Cards not working optimally inside

I bought 2 MegaRAID 9266-8i cards and both of them are not working. The motherboard is not released and locked with any card. I've been using 3Ware/LSI/Avago/Now Broadcom cards for over a decade and this is the first time I've had problems. I'll keep working to make sure it's not my fault and that there's something wrong with this card the motherboard's supermicro server board and go from there, but it just locks the computer on mail and won't do anything if You let him sit for 20 minutes. I connect the 9750-8i or 9650-4i that I have and it works fine. I tried this on my desktop computer and it doesn't work either. The 9750-8i boots fine on my base $50 motherboard, so I think these cards just don't live up to the hype. I took a chance buying them as they are a lot cheaper but as an OEM I'm used to it. cheaper than retail. The description is very general and should be known not to attempt this. I hate getting burned, but I guess that's the way the internet is right now. Nobody cares about integrity anymore. I bought them for 2 client servers and didn't try to use them until 2 months later so the return policy went through.

Pros
  • 1GB DDRIII cache
Cons
  • Everything is fine
