Hey there guys I don't have much epxerience with this sort of thing but I recently set up a spare rig I had as a server, purely for the ease of access and some experience in this field

The mobo has 4 sata ports whihc has 4 drives connected at the moment rnning as standard, 3x 1tb drives and 1x500gb drive. I would like to be able to run 6 or possibly 8 x 1tb or 2tb drives in the near future so basically I was wondering how id go about adding all the drives.

I know I'd have to buy sata cards but which ones would do the trick, I don't want to go overboard on the price so looking for something that will get the job done

Cheers, Dandaman
 
Windows home server 2011, basically i've been wanting to get into this sort of thing for a while now but have never taken the jump until now.

Still trying to get my head round it all tbh, lol its quite confusing at times
