### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***N on 18 January 2026*

It works for my purpose which is for zfs. But there is a quirk I didn't know which is that it will only show up after booting into the OS, this is apparently normal for cards like these. The UEFI will not recognize it. Still works perfectly fine for me. Just have to boot using disks that are connected directly.
