PCI-X SAS Raid Windows 10?

[Zilog]

Are there any PCI-X SAS raid cards that work under Windows 10? Thanks

I'm assuming anything that old would probably just have inbox drivers.

Thanks for the reply. It i proving tricky to track one down. I have stumbled across the odd PCI-X Sata card that officially supports Windows 10 but no full blown SAS cards.

Companies aren't going to waste their time/money validating a card that old on a brand new consumer OS.

I did not think many would have official support but I suspect there will be some that will still work on older drivers. It does appear most Windows 7 drivers will work on Windows 10 so I will start my search for a Windows 7 card and hope I get lucky.

Windows 10 inbox has a very wide range of drivers on older hardware.

But the Windows Driver Model hasn't changed much since Vista. Chances are if the card has Windows 7/8 (or Server 2008+) drivers, then it should load for Windows 10 (do a force load). If it doesn't, it means the driver developer sucks and you should probably avoid them anyways.
