#PCI SATA CARD SOFTWARE#

To further improve motherboard compatibility the card does not have a built-in RAID controller, but fully supports the use of software RAID. The PCIe MUX that's built into this controller card manages the downstream controllers, which improves motherboard compatibility by ensuring the card will work with motherboards that support bifurcation and motherboards that do not. To ensure a secure connection, each SATA port on the included cables features a locking connector, that will prevent the drive from accidental disconnection when working inside your computer case. The SATA drives are connected via two Mini-SAS ports with two included Mini-SAS to 4x-SATA adapter cables. Quad Controllers to Deliver 8-Port SATA 6Gbps PerformanceДЇeaturing four 2-Port SATA 6Gbps controllers and a PCIe-x4 MUX, this SATA card enables the connection of eight high-performance SATA 6Gbps drives with a combined total throughput of up to 20Gbps. The card supports SATA III and PCI-Express Gen 2 Specifications and four SATA controllers to deliver a high-performance data storage solution. This 8-port SATA III (6Gbps) controller enables you to add eight SATA 6Gbps hard drives (HDDs) or solid State Drives (SSDs) to your computer system or server via an available PCIe x4 card slot. STARTECH.COM ADVANTAGE: IT professionals choice for over 30 years This SATA PCIe controller card converter is backed for 2-years by, including free 24/5 North America based multi-lingual tech support.

Very poor instructions, no way to swap bios and drivers with software provided on driver disk. PROS: Decent price, ease of swapping bios between RAID and storage device.Д¬ONS: Difficulty of location of device drivers.

#PCI SATA CARD CODE#

The same code problem shows up when trying to set card up as a Raid card as well. This leaves me with two unusable drives as well as an unusable adapter card. Neither drive came with driver software, nor is there any from the drive manufacture as they utilize the Windows system drivers. The drivers for the adapter card are installed because device manager sees them unless you try to use the card via the control card managent software. These errors mean drivers are not installed on either the adapter or optical drives. When you try and use either, you get a code 19 AND a code 28 error. Same with the two optical drives on the card. The adapter card is seen in the system bios, as well as Windows XP. I wanted it to add only SATA ports, so had to reflash the bios of the card, easy enough, as was installing driver. I installed the card, it installed as a Raid card. This is a rebranded, reboxed Syba card which if needing correct drivers, sends you to a third different company to get correct software if you can decipher their product coding.
