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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great deal

Card arrived quickly, was already flashed to newest firmware and had all “advanced” features (FastPath, CacheCade) enabled.
