| Too many SATA HDD, What should I do ? SATA contorller card ?
I have nearly 15 SATA drives.
I am planing to put 10 of them (1TB each) into my Server case.
but mother board only has 6 SATA ports.
I will need a SATA controller card i guess.
So, What is a decent SATA controller card that runs stable ? and safe ?
Price range $200~300
Anyone can recommand one ?

Are you going to be running raid?
This will give you 4 more ports for $30. http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=19892

if you have a server, i strongly encourage you go with a pci-e u320 scsi card, with a 8 bay (or more if you want) u320 scsi enclosure.
reliable with redundancy, you can go up to raid 50, you'll be set for a long time. http://www.maxtronic.com/index.php?o...=79&Itemid=120 | |

rock solid enclosure, great cooling, low noise, 8 bays, support raid 50. this means your data will be a lot more safe. very fast speeds with u320 scsi.
the only problem is money. these things are not cheap.
so if money is a concern, i guess you can go with something like a rosewill esata enclosure... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16816132015 | |

We've got these on three sites now (well, one's a rack-mount version), 8x1TB, setup as RAID5 for 6.5TB available. These things are the shit. Hardware RAID5 is great - good performance, and data redundancy: if a drive dies, you just hot-swap it, and the system rebuilds the array automatically.
