FAQ

Is this controller compatible with Windows Server?

Yes, the SAS3008 chipset is supported by Windows Server drivers, though the IT mode is primarily intended for Linux‑based storage solutions.

What is the difference between IT mode and IR mode?

IT mode presents the controller as a pass‑through device, allowing the host OS to manage drives directly, while IR mode provides hardware RAID functionality.

Can I use this controller in a 1U rackmount server?

Absolutely. Its low profile and optional high‑low bracket make it ideal for 1U and other space‑restricted server configurations.

Does the green color affect heat dissipation?

No, the color is purely cosmetic; the controller includes an efficient heat sink to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
