[ubuntu] PCI SATA card

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a Ubuntu server that I want to put 2 other SATA hard drives on but the board just has 2 SATA ports right now. So Looks like the only way to add a SATA port is with a PCI SATA card. I need to buy one yet. But wanted to ask here is there a good one that works with ubuntu? Looking from what I seen they say they come with Windows drivers. I think some one will know here. -Raymond Day (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] PCI SATA card

The system is running great in fedora 7 or 12 with 6 sata drives installed. I tried to install 2 more sata drives(total 8 drives), tested some combinations: 6 drives in sata ports and 2 in sas ports, or 2 in sata ports and 6 in sas ports... the BIOS can detect all 8 drives, but the fedora 7 and 12 just detect 6 sata drives.

pcie sata card setup question 3 years 20 weeks ago

Hi all,

I've purchased a SATA card (2 sata, 2 esata, 1 IDE), cause unfortunately I ran out of sata ports on my motherboard. Running lspci I figured that my device was discovered by my system:

02:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. 20360/20363 Serial ATA Controller (rev 03)

sitecom cn-042 PCI 2.2 card with 2 esata and 2 sata connections for connection to external esata and/or internal sata drives. sata 1 compatible, 150 mb/s data transfer SKU: CN-042, EAN: 8716502013883 two sata drives can be connected at same time and jum...

I have recently purchased a new system. I have 3 problems which all seem to point to some sort of incompatibility between IDE and SATA drives. I'm probably wrong here, but in my mind I'm convinced that they are connected.

I have a Foxconn A88GMV motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor and 4GB memory. The SATA is 1TB and the IDEs are 500 and 300MB.

Installing to a PCIE sata card 1 year 23 weeks ago

I have an ASUS P5Q deluxe from an old gaming computer that I'm converting to a server. Unfortunately, while their silly onboard fake RAID thing(drive xpert) worked fine in Windows, the drives are not being detected at all when I attempt to install openSUSE to them. I've tried disabling it and setting it to "normal" but still no luck.

Hey all. Im finally moving to SATA and have a few questions. I know I'm a little late adopting this tech so I haven't got any experience using it.

Hi gang,

Trying to install SUSE on a perfectly working PC that was running Windows. Blew away all the partitions and formated the drives.

When trying to install SUSE, Installer will not detect my two hard disks. Tried with version 10.x, 11.1 and 11.2, without success.

Hello All,

I have recently become the proud(?) owner of a Dell PowerEdge 1600SC. The link to the manuals are here: http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/...weredge-1600SC

This thing is a BEAST of a file server assuming you have a ton of SCSI drives which I do not. So I am trying to figure out alternatives. I figure I could put a SATA card in it and then 3 or 4 SATA drives.

Here's my hardware:

GA-880GA-UD3H(rev. 2.2) http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3789#sp

Had Ubuntu 11.04 server running with 6 Seagate 1TB ST31000524AS drives. Was NOT using the 2 white gigabyte sata ports, only blue.
