Hi

I run a little plex server and managed to get hold of some nice 16tb hdds from some eBay discount code when they had 20pc off.


Anyhoo this means I have
3*16tb
1*14tb
1*1tb sata SSD.


My mobo does have 6 ports but 2 are disabled if you use more then one nvme (I have a 2tb +1tb ).

So I got hold of something off Amazon which is nice but the drives come in under 'safely remove drive' bit which I think means it thinks it's removable when it isnt
So does anyone have any suggestions for a good pcie3x1 Sata card. Dont need raid.

I only have 2*16 slots (one has a gtx1080ti, one has a connectx3 10gb in it), the rest are all 1x.


Any ideas.?
 
The safely resume drives relates to hotswap feature and isn't a problem (other than the tray icon being annoying!).

If you don't need hotswap ability, the card may have different modes which may disable this feature. Eg AHCI, RAID, IDE etc
