Please could someone suggest a cheap PCI-E SATA card with 4 internal ports?
I currently have 6 motherboard SATA ports and a 5-drive hot-swap
chassis, I am thinking of adding a second 5-drive hot-swap chassis to my
case and would need another 4 SATA ports to drive it.
Other requirements: known to work with RHEL/CentOS 5 kernels, even if it
means installing a driver with DKMS or whatever.
Doesn't have to be PCI-E x1 because I've a spare x8 (logical)/x16
(physical) slot, but I don't know if anything cheap's going to be
anything other than PCI-E x1. v2.0 (5GT/s) would be nice though.
Looking through my usual suppliers' listings, there are occasional cheap
cards with one or several e-SATA ports, or considerably more expensive
cards claiming to have RAID, but I don't want to spend more on a 4-port
SATA card than I would on a motherboard.
Happy new year all!
Cheers,
John.
