Hi,
Today I installed the ECS06 Silverstone sata controller and it seems to
work.
Thank you for your advice.
Best regards.
Alessandro.

Hi Alessandro,
The easiest way to check is by searching for "ASM1166" in the AHCI
kernel driver. You can do this on the GitHub repository for the Linux
kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/ata/ahci.c
<https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/ata/ahci.c>. I
found that the driver does indeed support ASM1166.
I couldn't locate the exact patch that introduced this change in the
kernel source. However, there's a good chance that it is supported in
the latest releases, as people have been discussing it on the internet.
Regarding recommendations and stability, I came across a related thread
that might interest you. They mention firmware updates as well:
https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/46589-unexpected-disk-errors-seen-with-pcie-card-when-adding-more-than-2-disks/ <https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/46589-unexpected-disk-errors-seen-with-pcie-card-when-adding-more-than-2-disks/>.
I hope this helps!
p.s. if you need that, I can double-check our kernel sources tomorrow
for you.
Pawel

Hi,
I need to buy a SATA3 PCI-E 3.0 2x controller with 4 or 6 port.
It will be installed on my workstation. I need to use AlmaLinux or at
least Fedora.
Actually I found this:
https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/
<https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/>
but I can't determine if it is supported by the kernel. The chipset is
ASMedia ASM1166 (AHCI). I can't find good results on google search.
How I can check if the controller is supported?
If not what controller do you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
Alessandro.
