PCI Express SATA Controller Card

[aelar]

Hey,

does anyone know where i can get a cheap PCI Express SATA Controller Card ?

i currently have a HP N40L and ive got 5 drives in it which takes up all my slots, and can fit a 6th drive in it. but need a sata slot which i only have around the back ( the e-sata connector ) would rather have an internal one.

does anyone know anywhere i can pick up a cheap PCI Express SATA Controller Card ?

thanks guys.

If you're prepared to wait a bit, you can pick one up on ebay for well under R200

could do, would that include shipping ?

Not sure if you have a PCI-E slot or not:

PCI-E:
Vantec UGT-ST400 - 2 port (external eSATA) , pci-express(1x) card [AC-VST400] - R228.00

PCI:
Vipower VP-9601A SATA RAID PCI Card [AC-V9601A] - R234.00

Since you are in Durban, shipping will cost R59.

Shipping is free. There's all sorts of hard to find hardware on there, check it out

Not what you asked for but you do get E-Sata to Sata cables, maybe you can route it from the back port into the Microserver?

yea, ive actually got that at the moment, but it looks messy and i dont mind spending abit on a internal controller to make it neat, need to expand from this N40L, maybe N54L i think it is, or a custom built one, since drive spaces is an issue

but thanks all.

and yes, PCI-E
