Thanks for all the replies.

I've ordered one cable, at an other company (because the one at my link was not the cheapest shop...).

 

The cable should come in tomorrow 

 

Thanks all for the help, and If I have problems tomorrow, I'll be back in this topic!

Guys am adding sata addon with 3 sata extensions. 

I feel this is a generic board. This is what is available in the main market around me. 

Will this work or make it work?

That card has a Marvell chipset which is not recommended for use with unRAID.  It is also only SATA1 (1.5 Gbps). There are many reports lately of the Marvell cards dropping drives in unRAID and they can have issues with VMs.  Whether or not you have any VMs, it is best to avoid Marvell.

 

The recommended cards are LSI HBAs like the 9211-8i, 9207-8i, 9300-8i or clones such as IBM M1015 or Dell H310, the latter cross flashed to IT mode.  Many can be found on eBay.

Good suggestion though. Ebay is dead in india. Not sure if i can buy from the international ebay side due to shipping issues. 

 

Its hard time for me to find a card here. People done even understand HBA 🤷‍♂️ 

If you have the money I guess the LSI SAS 9305-24i is the one to get.

This is a 8x PCI-E 3.0 card.

It is in the Hardware Compatibility list: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility#PCI_SATA_Controllers

Works out of the box according to the list.

Price ~$ 600

 

All new good running out of the box with unraid controller cards, even for fewer drives are probably about the same price or just a little cheaper.

 

 

I am looking for a non-raid SATA III 6gb with a min of 6 or 8 ports. It must be supported by Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2016.

Any help would be grateful.
