SATA expansion

nightroamer · 29 Jan 2014 at 10:39

Hi Guys

I am currently running the Flawless Server setup on an old c2d 6420 with 2 Gig of ram.

I am quickly running out of space and this MoBo only has 4 SATA ports.

What is the best option if i want to expand the storage capacity?

I have heard of SATA Pci cards?

Thanks

Yep a sata card will do the job.

Does your Mobo have PCI Express?

If so I would use this Silverstone SST-EC05 PCIe Card SATA 6bps

I will need to check actually but yes i believe at least one port.

That's what I did, PCI-E SATA card, it cost £20.
