Hi,
I have upgraded my PC with new MB and it is begging to be made in to
full blown mdam server. I asked and got several recommendation for SATA
expansion cards. The recommendations typically go for PCIe x1-2port type
cards like this one
> http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-E-Express-SATA3-SATA3-0-6Gb-s-eSATA-SATA-III-Card-ASMEDIA1061-/231378681315
However, I am looking for something along PCIe x4/x8 with 4+ ports like
this one
> http://www.amazon.com/SAS9211-8I-8PORT-Int-Sata-Pcie/dp/B002RL8I7M
or (similar, but cheaper)
> ww.ebay.com/itm/like/252048579357?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
Any one has any experience? Are there some other recommended ones along
this line. Basically, I am looking for non raid (I do not want pay for
the HW RAID component which I will not use) easy to use expansion card
with several ports that is reliable (I have this:
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124064 and it drops
hard drives the moment I stress it)
