October 4, 20196 yr Hi, I like to use Unraid in a VM on ESXi. I have one open PCIE slot SATA controller to be pass through to the VM but it's PCIE 2.0 x 1. If I get a 1 x PCIe card with 4 or 6 SATA ports will it affect the speed of read/right to the drives? The PCIe 2.0 x1 bandwidth is 500mb/s. Would using cache help with this card? Thanks! Also is it possible to pass an onboard sata controller to a Unraid VM? David Edited October 4, 20196 yr by davidst95

But if not access all disks at same time, i.e. 1 or 2 disk then won't have bottleneck 1 hour ago, davidst95 said: Also is it possible to pass an onboard sata controller to a Unraid VM? Yes in general, most depends on IOMMU seperate good or not. Edited October 4, 20196 yr by Benson
