[H] SATA Add-in Card

2016-07-05 Thread Steve Tomporowski
I'm upgrading my server (running UNRAID) and at this point I've run out of SATA ports on the MB (all 6 full). So I'm looking for recommendations on an add-on card, preferably PCI-E (I've got empty slots), but the card will need Linux drivers. Any Ideas? Thanks...Steve
