October 5, 201114 yr Hi there, I have one of these boards, which I'm thinking of turning into an unRaid system: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5B/#specifications It does not have onboard video, so usually you would put a video card in the 16x slot. Do you think I would be able to put a 4x PCI-e controller ( http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/raid/sataii/aar-1430sa/ ) in that slot and a PCI video card in one of the PCI slots?
October 5, 201114 yr Author Thanks. I also think it 'should' work . I bought the controller, so guess I'll go try and see if it does work!
October 6, 201114 yr Author Some feedback, it did work. I plugged in an old PCI VGA card, and plugged in the Adaptec 1430SA card in the PCI-e x16 slot. I'm still waiting for my unRaid license to arrive so I can't test all the disks yet, but I plugged in a disk into each controller (onboard SouthBridge, onboard JMicron JMB363, Adaptec 1430SA) and unRaid detected the disks and formatted them without any problems.
