So to start this is what you need if bifurcation is not possible or you need a hardware level raid setup. This product is one of a very select few that can accomplish this task and I do endorse it. With that said let's dive into the details.I have an older HPE G9 Dl580. It is a monster server even now with 2TB of ram and enough pcie slots to get all kinds of compute done. One of the drawbacks of this server has been local storage as with its age it did not support bifurcation on the pcie slots and I could not afford to lose and entire 16 lanes for a 4 lane nvme drive. Enter the Highpoint 7105 with the ability to bypass the bifurcation limitation and give me 16 lanes of nvme performance. I must say that this is a well made product with plenty of heat dissipation and a well thought out design. Where the problems start is in the documentation. This is your normal issue of a tech writing a guide. It is well intended but it makes many logic leaps and skips a number of steps.You have a few paths that you can travel down and they are not mutually exclusive. The one that fit my use case (or so I thought) was to build the drive out inside windows and do an inplace migration via drive clone. I loaded all the drivers and everything worked like a charm, until I went to boot the new drive as my OS did not see the drive as a raid array (that had been built) but four disparity drives. No amount of pleading or troubleshooting could ascertain the cause. It was not an issue with the clone or the raid build but the card itself. I reached out to support with a very detailed report of EVERYTHING I had tried and got brick walled. The support team latched onto the line where I cloned the drive and ignored everything else in my email. Finding that gold nugget they fired back we don't support clone in shape or fashion good day to you. I was close to returning the card but I decided to toe the party line and rebuild the array outside of windows and live with a clean instal. Here was where things got fun. Their documentation indicated that this was as easy as building a fat32 drive with their software and some unknown "second" drive. I believe that the second would be an OS instal drive with slipstreamed drivers but this was never made 100% clear. But when I booted the drive it let me know that the array was already built and healthy. So I kept digging and digging until I was just running commands from the help command list and stumbled over a firmware update option. I hit this by complete accident and I am not 100% sure where in the menu it is but this firmware (packaged in the downloaded software) was the missing piece of the puzzle. After this updated the card was seen in the bios as a unit rather than separate drives and booted my cloned OS with missing a beat. I messaged back the support team and they were defensive of any feedback on their documentation or anything.I am going to rate this card fairly low as this required a tantantic effort to get running but it stands alone in the market so if you are here looking it is what you need but hopefully my review can prepare you for the journey of getting it operational.See that attached image for speed of the card (C: vs a five wide sata raid D:). For my needs this was perfect I can load into and out various LLM's with ease now and everything is smoother than over the sata array.

Added this to a DELL T40 and now it performs like a monster. I am very impressed.

Being a satisfied customer of High Point I purchased 7505 after 7103Very happy about the speed and the low decibal level sound of the cooling fan.While the 7103 was little annoying my wife in terms of the PC Sound level in our bed room. But 7505 Cooling system is much worked upon.Thanks

Contacted support and for over week they asked me to install and reinstall different versions of the WebGUI and send diagnostics.

Lo más complicado es la instalación, pues necesita un USB UEFI desde donde se hace la matriz (si se usa en modo bootable). Otro aspecto es el ventilador que es ruidoso, pero se puede ajustar la velocidad o parar desde la app. La página web tiene un FAQ de resolución de problemas muy efectivo. Yo lo he instalado en una MSI X299 PRO 10G, y está funcionando a 112 Gbps: 14.000 MB/s (Crystal disk Mark) con 4 discos m.2 NVME Samsung 970 plus (3.500 MB/s individualmente)
