monkiefone Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 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.

JorgeB Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 PCI controller will be very slow even for just 2 disks, it will max out at around 50/60MB/s, but if you want one get one based on the Sil3112 or 3114 chipsets, they are slow but work. Quote Link to comment
monkiefone Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment
