According to that list the SAS 2008 cards need PCIe x8 or higher, mine are only PCIe 2.0 x1, would they work? Still 500MB/sec on that one lane right?

Cheers guys Might get 2 of those 4 port cards.
Which SAS2008 card are you referring to?
-
Looks like SY-PEX40013 might be the go, I think the other card only supports PCIe x2 speeds and higher Can anyone confirm?

Hi all,
I have a NAS with a Norco RCP-4220 20 bay rackmount case. Currently has 14 drives installed (6 on motherboard and 8 on SUPERMICRO AOC-USASLP-L8I card). The server works brilliantly but I have 6 bays left with no SATA card to drive them, and the NAS is full. I'd prefer not to ditch the 2TB drives and move to 4TB, so adding another card would be simpler.
The motherboard is an Intel DH55TC board, with Intel LAN, and two PCIe x1 sockets spare (the x16 is being used by the 8 port card).

I was looking at getting a Syba SI-PEX40071 but I'm not sure if this card works on PCIe x1 slots, will PCIe x2 cards work on slower slots?
Would the current Corsair TX650W power supply handle the 4-6 extra 5400RPM drives?
Does unraid work reliably with this card or is there better options out there?
Thanks for any advice

Picked up one of these:

Iocrest 88SE9215 Marvell card, has 4 6Gbit SATA ports, worked with Unraid right out of the box, no bios/flashing/drivers/fiddling needed.
Thanks for everyone's help
