In case anybody else is (or will be) looking for this, I am glad to report that I have succeeded in my endeavor. More exactly: My Adaptec 71605 card functions very well under Windows Server 2016 in RAID Mode with RAW disks sent directly to the OS. This means that no mode change is necessary...

Thank you for that useful information! After searching a lot yesterday, I have found mentions that, indeed, also Adaptec cards Series 7 is able to do this, form a certain firmware version forwards - since Series 8 is way to expensive yet. I looked on Ebay and did not found any 7805 cards, but...

Hello, I am a 40+ years old guy but very recently started to dabble into the "SAS RAID Controller" world. I have created sort of a home server (in name), where I would like to use such a card. In the beginning I bought a Dell Perc H200 card (without knowing what I buy exactly), my initial...
