AndreM Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 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?

jimwhite Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It "should" work... I've done the same on similar boards. Quote Link to comment
AndreM Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thanks. I also think it 'should' work . I bought the controller, so guess I'll go try and see if it does work! Quote Link to comment
AndreM Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 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.
