July 12, 201015 yr I'm just learning about unraid and have a collection of somewhat dated components that I'm using to build my unraid server. So far everything is going smoothly and I'm only testing things at the moment. However, I do want more space in the future and the ASUS A7N8X motherbooard I am using only has two SATA ports. None of the PCI slots on the motherboard are PCI-Express. As I try to find a good 4-port PCI SATA Controller Card I also seem to dig up quite a bit of unfavorable comments regarding each one. Is there a specific model someone could recommend to me?
July 12, 201015 yr Never had any issues with my 4-port Rosewill 209-EX either. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132013&Tpk=sata%20controller Not expensive ($29.99) , currently free shipping, and works well. I did NOT have to re-flash the BIOS or anything to make it work with unRAID. Joe L.
