PCIe SATA controllers
Hi,
I've just purchased an Asus Z370-A motherboard to replace my older
desktop board. It includes 6 SATA6 ports but I need a few more.
Do you have any recommendations?
All the regular controllers I've found are PCIe v2.0 and most are x1.
Is that even fast enough for 6mbs?
This one looks reasonable. Any reason to think it wouldn't work with
Linux? It's also v2.0

Many of the RAID controllers (like the MegaRAID) are super expensive
and more than I need.

Anyone remember the Hardware-Compatibility-HOWTO? :-)
Thanks for any ideas.
