Since we are already off topic, does anyone have any recommendations for a 4 port SATA card that doesn't need to have RAID, but is still high performance? I have a two port card in my server now, (the on board mobo only has 2 ports) I'd like to expand it, but I think the card I have now is not performing well at all, so I'd like to replace it with something that is proven.<br>

Considering the motherboard only has two ports, I'm guessing this is an old board, and you're looking for PCI cards, in which case a single hard drive is sufficient to saturate your entire bus. If that's the case, you're simply not going to get any performance out of anything, and the best option is to upgrade to something with more ports and/or PCI-express slots.<div class="HOEnZb">

I can't find the model number, but I think it's got a PCI-E port on it, but yes, I am seriously considering replacing it, if necessary, it sounds like a jet airplane most of the time...<br>
