Review: DOWNGRADE firmware if 7.6.0 - Decent card, with caveats. I'm running this card in a linux based system (debian) and it works pretty well ONCE you fix it's firmware. If you get a card with firmware 7.6.0, downgrade it. That firmware doesn't exist on Microsemi's website. It only goes to 7.5.0. How I figured out the 7.6.0 had issues was when I got an expander. The controller would randomly lock up or just go permanently asleep. This wasn't an issue without the expander, so I removed it just to see if things got better, and they did. Once I upgraded the expander firmware (which I couldn't in Arch linux btw), I tried again. Things were a bit better, but still not quite right. I found a forum post that said 7.5.0 was the last version that wasn't OEM. I downgraded this using a USB boot drive with their web UI software, and behold, after that it's been working perfectly fine with the expander. (The expander is also an Adaptec one.) So yes, this card works great. I don't use it in HBA mode (which it supports natively BTW) because ZFS doesn't like more than 6 or 7 drives (I tried this briefly with truenas, and it was stupid slow). I'm running 20 with the expander + 1 spare. Once you get the firmware downgraded (If yours has 7.6.0) it works great. Otherwise, be warned. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BEY17NK | | Best Sellers Rank | #103 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | Adaptec | | Compatible Devices | Servers or storage systems with PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and SAS support | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 13 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express 3.0, SAS, SCSI | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Adaptec, Inc | | Mfr Part Number | LYSB00BEY17NK-CMPTRACCS | | Model Number | ASR-71605 | | Operating System | Windows, Linux | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 760884156742 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Adaptec - **Compatible Devices:** Servers or storage systems with PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and SAS support - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express 3.0, SAS, SCSI - **Item Weight:** 0.4 Kilograms - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![ADAPTEC - 16-Port SAS/SATA RAID Controller 71605 - PCIe 3.0 x8 - RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31pDOPuiCnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do Not Buy! *by S***N on February 26, 2026* No installation instructions, no disc, no online support.

However when I tried to build raid 5, it stuck at building/verifying raid array and while verifying, the read write speed are super slow...thought this could be a driver issue but I tried and problem still there. Support guy told me it could be due to one bad hdd which I don't think so. Fianally I said screw it and use HBA mode instead. It works great...superb speed and all my drives functioning well. Not sure what happened... ## Frequently Bought Together - ADAPTEC - RAID Adaptec 71605 16-Ports SAS/SATA RAID ControllerRAID 71605 SINGLE SAS/SATA PCIESerial Attached SCSI (SAS) - PCI Express 3.0 x8 - Plug-in Card - RAID Supported - 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 RAID Level - 1 GB - OIKWAN Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable, SFF-8643 to SATA Forward Breakout Compatible with Raid Controller Hard Drive (3.3ft) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/37363344-adaptec-16-port-sas-sata-raid-controller-71605-pcie-3](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/37363344-adaptec-16-port-sas-sata-raid-controller-71605-pcie-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
