Badboy Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi, I need to add more drives and my sata ports are used up. I would like a 6 port expansion card with raid support. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have a Asrock x370 killer sli board. Thanks Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 The Dell PERC H310 can be got second hand (pulled from servers) on Ebay at very reasonable prices. That would give you eight ports and it would fit in a x8 PCIe slot. The only downside is that you'd need to cross-flash it with LSI IT firmware but there are instructions and downloads to help you on this forum. Quote Link to comment
