HighPoint Rocket 1204 Reviews

Works perfectly

Put this in a linux server with 2 WD_BLACK sn850x 8T M.2 cards. Works perfectly. PCI Gen3 but running on a Gen2 motherboard. Works perfectly. Just a basic HBA, no RAID. Using software raid so this was just the ticket.

See any errors on this page?

Does it support any form of RAID ?
