Review: High End, High Performance, RAID controller that works well with VMware ESXi 5.5.0 and fully supported - We have at least 11 of these actual controllers in our server cluster over a three year period. We use them with VMware Version 5.5.x because they are fully supported by VMware tech support. The only surprise is that you have to configure the Virtual Disks through the Web-BIOS, which is only available during POST. I have seen that some people have found a way to run the LSI GUI based configuration utility from inside a VM running on the same host where the controller is installed; but this is not a supported configuration and can lead to serious consequences. That method is only suitable for non-production use, which makes it useless to us. Overall, an extremely reliable, very fast controller. The NLQ depth is 960, which is very high. It is also fully compatible with VMware VSAN 5.5.0. Review: No drivers included - seems only Win 7 and similar compatible - After an exhaustive search of the Broadcom site, can't find drivers for this card. Found every other model, just not this one. Meanwhile RAID array that reports good in the card's BIOS is invisible to Windows. I suspect the software that should have been included with this card would resolve the issue but wasn't in the box. ## Features - 6 Gbps SATA+SAS with unprecedented levels of performance - Designed for internal storage environments using up to 128 SAS, SATA and solid state drives (SSDs) - Designed for IOPs performance and advanced software options help users realize full benefits of SSD deployments - Cache Vault technology option for greener, lower total cost cache protection - Support For Cache cade Pro 2.0 Read/Write Caching Software To Help Accelerate I/O Performance Of Existing Hdd Arrays Using Ssds As High-Performance Cache - Proven Interoperability With The Latest Server Platforms Based On The Pci Express 3.0 Specification - Helps to meet high I/O transaction demands of database and datacenter applications - Provides The Sustained Data Transfer Rates And High Sequential Bandwidth To Meet Processing Requirements Of Digital Media, Video And Imaging Environments ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008NF6THM | | Best Sellers Rank | #132 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | LSI Logic | | Card Description | Dedicated | | Computer Memory Type | DDR3 SDRAM | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (16) | | Date First Available | July 23, 2012 | | Hard Drive | Mechanical Hard Drive | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Item model number | LSI00331 | | Manufacturer | LSI LOGIC | | Memory Speed | 1333 MHz | | National Stock Number | 5998-01-624-6352 | | Number of Processors | 2 | | Operating System | Multiple | | Processor | 3.9 GHz | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches | | RAM | 1024 MB | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LSI Logic - **Compatible Devices:** Servers with PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot - **Hardware Interface:** SAS - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i Kit Storage Controller LSI00331 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-Wcob4HfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High End, High Performance, RAID controller that works well with VMware ESXi 5.5.0 and fully supported *by N***T on March 18, 2015* We have at least 11 of these actual controllers in our server cluster over a three year period.
