HighPointRocket 640L Lite Version 4-Port PCI-Express 2.0 x4 SATA 6Gb/s RAID Controller

Works perfectly under Windows. The drivers for the additional windows control don't seem to be available (the website is a bit of a mess!) but this does not impact functionality, just set up raid arrays using the bios controls. The hardware is plug and play and best to configure at the hardware level rather than in windows anyway.

Sin necesidad de instalar ningún tipo de driver ni complicaciones, además ya incorpora 4 cables de datos sata para conectar a los diferentes discos duros. No llega a alcanzar velocidades SATA 3 pero esto ya es por limitaciones del propio ordenador. Ideal para los que quieren seguir ampliando la vida de ordenadores antiguos.

Die Karte ist seit dem Kauf ständig in Benutzung und macht ihren Dienst wie sie soll kann nichts negatives berichten.Es hängen 4 SATA Platten dran die für Datensicherung, Musikstreaming und ab und an zur Videobearbeitung benutzt werden.Hab das Teil eingebaut und es lief. So muss es sein.

This HighPoint Rocket 640L just works--no issues with my system seeing it in a PCI-e X16 slot and getting twice the speed of my on board SATA2. I highly recommend this controller if you are using it with the Samsung 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD512 512 Gig SSD. I can't comment on any other SSD compatibility, but I suspect that it will work with many of them if not all of them. You also get 4 ports instead of 2 ports. For your reference, please see the review that I wrote for the Apricorn Velocity Solo X2 Sata3 controller just below that has only 2 ports and causes continuous boot loops when the Samsung 512 Gig SSD is attached to it. I'm enclosing the reviews of other products to help consumers who are looking to upgrade their system with a Samsung SSD and avoid wasted time and returns headaches.Review of Apricorn Velocity X2: Purchased this controller (Apricorn Velocity X2) to work with a Samsung Pro Series MZ-7PD512 SSD (512 Gig), directly from Apricorn because there was going to be a shipping delay purchasing it through Amazon. My 5 year old mother board could see the SSD, and I was able to attach the SSD directly to the SATA2 on the MB and do a fresh install of Win7 64bit--no problems. When I installed the Apricorn controller in my system in a PCI-e X16 slot my system wouldn't boot and did continuous boot loops. I purchased a HighPoint Rocket 640L, put it in the same slot, plugged in the SSD, and no worries. Doubled my speed when measured with crystalmark. I also plugged in my old hard drives (3 of them) and they were a little faster as well rather than leaving them plugged into the MB Sata2 slots. I called Apricorn, talked to technical support 3/28/2013, and they admitted that they had just discovered that the Samsung SSD and new Corsair did not work with their controller--and they had no fix for it yet.Their solution is elegant from the standpoint that you don't need any mounting hardware and cables, but it just doesn't work with all SSDs. You might want to contact Apricorn tech support to verify that it works with your SSD before purchasing. But, the HighPoint 640L has 4 ports instead of 2, comes with 4 cables, and costs $30 less at $69 here on Amazon. My system immediately recognized the HighPoint, no booting issues, and double the speed of Sata2--a no brainer.As a point of reference, I upgraded from Win XP 32bit with 3gig ram to Win 7 64bit 24 gig ram and added the SSD. My boot time dropped from over 4 minutes to just under 1 minute with shut down time dropping to 7 seconds from 1 minute. All of my apps just blip on the screen. Load times are completely insignificant now. As I write this I have 139 processes running and 172 programs installed (7 running), and my system still starts quickly and loads apps and data like blips on the screen. FireFox 19 used to take 30 seconds to load. It's my slowest loading program at 3 seconds, because I leave a dozen to 20 tabs open from my previous sessions, which uses tremendous resources on the computer. I can't recommend enough doing this type of upgrade. I've been in the computer industry since 1981, and I finally have the nearly perfect speedy system. Good luck with your new installation...

GIGABYTE のマウスコンピュータ向けカスタマイズモデルのマザー(GA-H81M-D3V-JP)の PCI-e x 16スロットに挿して特に何もせずとも BIOS や Windows8.1 から認識され普通に使えています。現在の環境では SSD は接続しておらずデータ保存ボリューム用に WD20EARS を 2 台接続しているのみなので速度的に PCI-e 4 レーンを活かした速度が出せているかどうかは不明ですが、WD20EARS はシーケンシャルリードで 110MB/s 程度は出ているので HDD 自体の性能をスポイルするといったことにはなっていないのは間違いありません(この WD20EARS は元々 WindowsXP とのマルチブート環境でデータ保存用に使っていたものをそのまま転用したため、フォーマットが AF ではないので 110MB/s 前後が最高速度になります)。
