wgstarks Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I’m trying to free up some slots in my server and saw this- https://www.startech.com/m/HDD/Mobile-Racks/25in-SATA-Removable-Hard-Drive-Bay-for-PC-Expansion-Slot~S25SLOTR Thinking maybe this will allow me to mount my SSD cache in a pci-e slot. I don’t have any experience with this sort of thing, so wanted to get some feedback. The specs do show that no drivers are required. Link to comment
StevenD Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 That is just a "physical" mount. It does not use PCI-e for power and connectivity. You still have to have a free SATA port and power. Link to comment
StevenD Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 You can try something like this if you dont have a SATA port available. https://smile.amazon.com/Express-Adapter-Circuit-connector-included/dp/B01452SP1O/ Link to comment
