Hey Guys, anybody got any good recommendations for a SATA expansion card? I already have a 4 port marvel card that works really well (discontinued, plugged into the second PCIe16x slot) and I have 1 free PCIe1x slot and some PCI slots. I have a 2 port SI card I can use (can remember which one it is, 3112, 3132) that I can plug into the PCIe1x slot (but it is right next to the passive heatsink of my video card) and I have Promise controller PCI card with 1 sata slot and 2 USB slots (which I don't need). Which would you recommend using or does something have something better?
Also, one thing I have heard is if you have two expansion cards with the same type of controller (ie, 2xSilicone Image cards or 2x Marvel cards) that his can lead to issues and it is recommended that you have 2 card that are different, is this correct?
