Yes to both, when i checked the sas configuration in the controller bios it did not show any cards, I have seen things about flashing the card to IT mode, could that be what I need?

Hello everyone, following one of my other posts about troubleshooting a bad card, I bought an LSI card on the recommendation of a forum member. I have it on a Windows 10 system (Ryzen 7 3700X on x470 if that matters) and the drivers are installed and Windows sees the raid card just fine without issue, but the issue comes to seeing the drives. The card is brand new (or factory settings at least) from Newegg, and the instructions basically just tell you that Windows is an operating system and an operating system is needed to use the card, so basically useless. I have a single cable that splits into 4 sata headers with an adapter for sas for power plus data. Other than insert the card and install the drivers, I have done nothing else and the drive do not show up, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious, please help, thank you

I also have an intel Core i5-4670 based machine that I use as my server, but it did the same in that system, so it could possibly be corrupted firmware? I got the card for only $30, so it is a possibility that it had some major issues. do you have any raid cards that you could recommend? I would prefer to keep things rather cheap, but as long as it works, price is not a real problem as long as it's not like $600 usd, I'm hoping for something under $300 or $250 USD pereferably. However if its an easy fix, that would be ideal, thank you!

So, I am having a big problem with configuring a raid card I got from eBay for a good deal, it is an Adaptec ASR-8405-4i and I cant get it to get past "Booting the Controller Kernel....." screen. For background, I have an Asus Prime x470 Prime Pro with a Ryzen 7 3700X with all other io options disconnected. When it does get past controller kernel boot, it just has a fatal error saying "Controller monitor failed. Controller not started." I have a few SAS SSD's (12gb/s and 6gb/s, but not connected at the same time) but the Controller doesn't even start. I would either like advice how to get this card working or a well known alternative for SAS 12gb/s that works on consumer hardware. Please help, thank you!

From the past, all of the top-tier "ti" branded cards get superceded by a "70" series graphics card in performance, with a slight bump in performance. I can say it is safe to assume that the GTX 2070 (or 1170, whicher is chosen for Volta) will be at least on par or up to 5% faster than the 1080ti. Typically, the "80" series is 15-25% faster than the "70" series. This is only speculation though, but it seems with past events, if history truly does repeat itself, in Volta's case, next year is going to be far more interesting for gaming.
