Depends on your use case. If you're just looking to add SATA ports, aren't planning anything crazy, and don't want to shell out extra for something enterprise-grade, they should work fine.

I have a similar one in my NAS, along with a free 2-port card that came bundled with it. They work pretty well, and I haven't had any issues with either.

u/Phastor · 5 pointsr/DataHoarder

This is exactly a situation I had and was doing research on for months before finally pulling the trigger on something.

The answer is hardware passthrough. Get yourself a cheap PCIe SATA controller and pass that sucker through to your linux guest. As long as the guest OS supports it, it will be able to see any drive connected to it as if it were directly connected to it as physical hardware.

Here's what I'm using.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B0A6ZS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

ESXi doesn't see any storage attached to it, nor has drivers for it. But it passed through just fine to my Win2k8 VM. Windows sees the drive connected to it as what it actually is and not a virtual disk.

u/BWC_semaJ · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Now what is interesting, there are adapters that take a PCI express port and convert it to Sata 3s which I highly recommend looking into.

I'll just link an example. Please do your own research on this though. I might link you one that might not work for your motherboard. http://www.amazon.com/Crest-Port-SATA-PCI-Express-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS

Also, it might be a bit expensive. There are a lot of these adapters out there so best of luck.

EDIT: Another thing to look into is if you can have the OS on one of these adapters. I personally don't have that much experience with them so I don't know as of now but I'm sure if you do a bit of research you could find the answer.

u/largepanda · 2 pointsr/linuxquestions

Using this card with Linux seems to be a very mixed bag of results.

If it's still within the return period you might just return it and get one with a different chipset.

u/silvenga · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

Can't find the exact bug reports - but this report is very similar (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg50075.html).

I noticed, when I attached a monitor to the server, that the console was filled with hard resetting link and failed command messages from the drives that were connected to the SATA controller. This caused the drives to downgrade to SATA1. Checking the logs, this has been happening for the past year (when I installed the controller). I tried both moving disks around and swapping the cords, but the errors continued to randomly occur.

Looking around, I found a guy's blog post about the same issues with a server RAID card (and his journey through multiple SATA controllers). This lead me to a couple of Debian and RedHat tickets with similar issues (which I can't find). Many Marvell controllers were reported to have this issue. In the end, I was able to correlate errors with whenever smartd ran SMART tests (every night), but only the first time after a reboot.

I went through a couple of controllers myself, but ended with this one, using the Asmedia 1061 controller. I was having issues with many of the 4-port controllers, so I settled with multiple 2 port controllers (I only needed 10 SATA ports). No issues ever since.

u/kcehlers · 2 pointsr/PCBuilds

IIRC SATA (data) cables can’t be split. If you’re talking about just the SATA power cable, I wouldn’t worry about anything. If you’re talking about data, I ran into this same issue a while back. Found a pci-e card with two sata ports on it pretty cheap and it worked right out of the box. I believe this is the one I have.

u/HeavyHDx · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

An SSD on SATA 2 will still be vastly faster than a mechanical hard drive. Plus, you can just continue using it when you finally upgrade the rest of the PC, these things don't really break. But yeah, ideally you'd want SATA 3. If you really wanted to keep the board, you could just get a PCIe SATA 3 card:

http://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-Port-PCI-Express-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459233631&sr=8-2&keywords=pcie+sata+3

Or something more fancy like this:

http://www.amazon.com/SEDNA-Express-PCIe-Adapter-included/dp/B00UFPJAS8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1459233631&sr=8-3&keywords=pcie+sata+3

This will give you the full speeds for your SSD, as well as another SATA 3 port. Much cheaper than upgrading your mainboard just for the ports.

u/sivartk · 2 pointsr/PleX

If you have any open PCIe slots you can always add more SATA ports. I'd just be careful about swapping into a non-Dell case. It can be done but it is kind of ugly (you can see the front panel inside and the power button as a periscope 😀) Although I did later clean it up. If figure when I add a few more drives, I'll upgrade everything. Still have about 6TB of free space so that will take a while to fill up.

u/Martelol · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Pretty much this.

As for your not-enough-sata-ports issue, you'll need an internal pcie card or a usb->sata adapter.

Card: http://www.amazon.com/Crest-Port-SATA-PCI-Express-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS/

Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-Converter-Adapter-Cable-included/dp/B005B3VO24/

There's really zero reason to go the USB adapter route though, at that point you might as well just get an external dvd drive: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Portable-External-SE-218CB-RSBS/dp/B00DBV28TG/

This is what I used. I even have my before and after benchmarks in the top review (that's me). I'm not sure how the PCI-E x1 bandwidth limit bottlenecks by current speeds, but I'm experiencing typical speeds with it.

u/dailytraffic · 1 pointr/zfs

I've used PCI-e to SATA cards before too; although I guess you could argue these controllers are sort of HBAs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B0A6ZS

u/Raffy_ruck · 1 pointr/DataHoarder

>The issue was these WD Mybook drives comes as exfat. That prevented the boot of the Windows OS for some reason.

That explains my troubles last night after shucking.

It wasn't able to boot with the My Book plugged into the motherboard, but was able to after plugging it into my PCI-Express Sata card.

u/epistaxis64 · 1 pointr/unRAID

Usually people will buy a seperate SATA pci-e card like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B0A6ZS/

u/Direwar · 1 pointr/starcitizen

Do you have any spare PCI slots?

u/Arm-the-homeless · 1 pointr/buildapc
What do they have now? I have the Xeon equivalent of a Q9650 in my office PC (mostly my daughter's computer these days) and it's not slow for web browsing or word processing. Hell it runs Fallout 4 @ 1080p on medium settings.

Getting an SSD does make a huge difference. In fact if your parents PC has a Core 2 Duo or Quad in it already, they probably don't need a new computer. You're better off getting a PCI Expresss SATA3 controller card and a cheap SSD. That plus a fresh install of Windows would probably do wonders.

It probably is their aging hard drive that's causing the slowness, and maybe a lack of memory for having Chrome tabs open. Really, you don't need much processing power to browse the web or use office software. I honestly can't tell the difference between my office PC and my gaming PC for those tasks, and my gaming PC is a i7 4790K w/ 16gb of DDR3 while my office PC is the aforementioned C2Q Q9650 w/ 8gb of DDR2. Web browsers and office suites just don't put enough of a load on a processor for it to matter.

Edit: If I had your budgetary constraints and I had to get my parents a new computer, this is what I would build.

And I would save up the extra 45 dollars to make it happen because they're my parents. Your parents deserve a power supply that isn't a fire hazard, they deserve a motherboard that isn't garbage, they deserve a case with some USB 3.0 ports and it's about to be 2016 so be a good child and get them a quad core while you're at it.

Edit2: And just to drive the point home about buying used, this is a much better computer for cheaper. Stick an SSD in it and your 8gb of RAM and it's good to go

I've been using this SATA card for my boot device since March and haven't had any issues. It's a good bit cheaper than what you posted too.

u/bandman2016 · 1 pointr/buildapc

There are PCIe to SATA cards out there, naturally there's many variants, so the best thing to do would be to get out and google around, look at reviews, etc

Example of such:

u/mmartinutk · 1 pointr/buildapc

Edit: Done. I don't know why, but it didn't work until I connected my Optical Drive to the PCI-e adapter and had both hard drives in the standard SATA ports. Did a clean install. Thanks for all who helped.

*****

Just bought this computer and a Samsung 500 GB SSD to put in it. I cannot for the life of me migrate this fucking OS to my SSD.

I've tried cloning using EaseUS and Minitool Partinioner. When I re-boot and go into the BIOS, I'm not even given the option to boot from my SSD. Just from Windows Boot Manager. Windows came pre-installed on the HDD.

It's worth noting my SSD is connected via PCI-E. Not sure if that matters.

I've deleted all my previous partition efforts. Here's what I'm looking at in Disk Management

Just tell me what to do man. Every guide online doesn't help.

Edit: Starting a clean install as suggested by another user. Idk why I've been trying to migrate over install from USB.

u/kevin_ol · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

This plugs into a SAS port, you're probably looking for this

u/Deemo13 · 1 pointr/buildapc

If SATA ports is all you need, you could always just add a SATA card like so:

PCI-E SATA expander thing

This is a non-RAID one though, so if you need RAID, consider getting a RAID one.

u/zax9 · 1 pointr/techsupport

This card on Amazon is only $16. This card on NewEgg (sold by a third party) gets you 2x SATA-III and 2x ESATA-III ports for $12. If you don't mind the wait, it looks like the same no-name card on NewEgg can be had direct from Hong Kong via this ebay listing for about $7.

u/blaziecat1103 · 1 pointr/buildapc

If your core problem is running out of SATA ports, a cheap expansion card could solve this problem more elegantly than external enclosures.

u/Balmung · 1 pointr/techsupport

You sure a cheap pcie sata card wouldn't give better performance? The reviews on http://www.amazon.com/Crest-Port-SATA-PCI-Express-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS says it does get around 350-400MB/s so it is better, but not the full 500.

u/awesome2000 · 1 pointr/buildapc

OP, I'm stupid. You can buy a PCIe to SATA III adapter for about $15.

http://www.amazon.com/Crest-Port-SATA-PCI-Express-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS

This is only a basic search, but look around and you'll find plenty of them to choose from.

u/bothunter · 1 pointr/techsupport

You'll need this for the power: https://smile.amazon.com/Molex-15-Power-Serial-Adapter/dp/B003M75D7I/ref=sr_1_10

Any maybe a SATA controller like this if your motherboard doesn't have a SATA port on it already: https://smile.amazon.com/IO-Crest-2-port-Controller-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS/ref=sr_1_4

If your computer is old enough to not have the PCI express and only has PCI ports, you'll need this instead: https://smile.amazon.com/Syba-Controller-Software-Component-SD-VIA-1A2S/dp/B002EL4RL6/ref=sr_1_36

u/johnnyp42 · 1 pointr/computers

Sata DATA cables can't be split, it sounds like that is what you're looking for. If you need more SATA ports than your motherboard provides you can add more with a PCI-E card.

The thing you posted a picture of is supposed to connect to a RAID card or a PCI-e controller - that's why it has that weird connector you don't recognize.

Adding a PCI-E SATA controller is going to be the cheapest and easiest way to add more ports. Something like this.

u/smokehidesstars · 1 pointr/buildapc

You could always add a cheap SATA3 PCI Express card: https://www.amazon.com/IO-Crest-Port-PCI-Express-SY-PEX40039/dp/B005B0A6ZS

u/lawpetex · -1 pointsr/DataHoarder

Besides what others have said, I've used this for almost a year without problems

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005B0A6ZS/

Might as well plug up those pcie x1 slots that you'll never use

It's slow in theory but on 5400rpm raid environment it doesn't make that much of a difference. The asm1061 chip is pretty solid, Asrock has those on many of their MBs.
