February 4, 20197 yr Hi Everyone. My server is running an older Foxconn H67 mothboard and i7. I am using both my PCi-e Slots for a graphics card (VM) and 10g network card. I am currently using the 6 Sata ports on the mother board for my drives but I now need 2 more to expand my array. Any idea of a suitable car that is PCI only as I have 2 spare slots but no PCi-e slots left? I'm just trying to extend the life of this setup before going full Ryzen next year. thank you.

February 4, 20197 yr Author Thank you. After doing a bit more reading I think a small investment in a used motherboard may be a better option to get the expandability for a while until I'm ready for the big upgrade.
