More HDD ports Anonymous 2016-07-09 18:40:34 Post No. 55493439 [Report]

I need more SATA ports in my machine. I've been advised to buy a RAID controller and just using it in JBOD mode. Anyone have a preference or one they use now? My motherboard only has 4 SATA ports and looking to expand at least 4 more.

Do you happen to use multiple cards in one machine? I'm new to this much storage, it's not really high demand but have you noticed any slow down with add-in cards?

Be careful to look at the airflow spec for the cards you look at; since you aren't putting it in a server this can be an issue.

Ever heard of a sata port multiplier? Using one sata port you can obtain up to 20 ports at the cost of speed

It is a meme.

Not all motherboard sata controllers support port duplication.

Get a HBA with LSI or PMC/Adaptec chipset. Other ones like Marvell might not work without tweaking on Linux or BSD machines.

OP here, I just pulled the trigger on a Dell H310 (LSI chipset) off ebay for $45. I have the instructions on flashing it to IT mode.

Anyone know what size heatsink these come with or what I can replace it with?
