Fluxonium Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Hi All, Can anybody recommend a PCIe 3.0 x1 SATA 1x adapter? I need to connect a DVD / Blue-Ray to a Virtual Machine and have run out of motherboard connections. I did ty the following from amazon: MZHOU PCIe SATA Card 2 Port But the system gets stuck at the BIOS / motherboard logo screen. Tested it in both PCIe 3.0 1x ports and the same result, I can get past the boot screen if I disconnect the DVD drive but with it plugged in the system will not post. I have not tested with a HDD but given I need the DVD drive I see no point. I have tested the DVD drive in a motherboard SATA connection and it works fine so I think the problem is the cheap amazon adapter. Best regards, Andy Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Avoid controllers with SATA port multipliers, see here for some recommendations: Quote Link to comment
landS Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I had a wicked time finding both a USB 3.1 controller and a SATA controller (for BD ODD) to pass through trouble free to a VM (on a Supermicro X10SRA-F). After about a dozen different controllers I landed on the following, which have been rock stable for the last 7 or so years: PCIe x1 ASM1061/ASM1062 Serial ATA for BD ODD - Startech PEXESAT322I original: PCIe x1 ASM1142 USB 3.1 - QNINE USB 3.1 PCIe Card Gen 2 (10Gbps), 2 Port PCI Express to USB 3.1 Type A Expansion Card (needs SATA power) replaced by: PCIe x4 ASM1142 USB 3.1 - Totovin 8541587506 (no external power needed) Quote Link to comment
