Mini-ITX NAS case

[DDY]

Sorry to dig out my old thread
I got the board now here, with the R2 of the Fractal case on order.
Looking at my initial setup, I would like to make some changes.
For that I would need a PCI-x 1-2 Port Sata card.
Something like this:

Just it needs to be PCI-x
Anyone know where I could get one of these with PCI-x.
eSata is not required, but will take it if available.

PCI-X, really? On an ITX board?

You must mean PCI-E right?

[derchris]

Yes, PCI Express

Scan stock many PCI-E SATA cards, look under HDD controllers.

[derchris]

PCI-x, PCI-e
I always refer to PCI Express as PCI-x. Didn't even know that PCI-x exists, lol
That could be the reason why I couldn't find much information
Are the Lycom cards any good?

Are the Lycom cards any good?

Perfectly fine if your just trying to add ports to the board, I might go a bit more upmarket if your going for a fancy RAID array etc.

I bought one of the 1x int, 1x ext. cards for a start, to test it out.
Should be here on Wednesday, together with the memory for the board, the SSD and the Case.
Then at least I can already install the OS over weekend.
Only thing left is HDDs

All working fine.
The SSD (Corsair CX300) is performing good. 90mb/s write, 190mb/s read
Not bad
Only thing left are the data drives.
Anyone knows where I could get 6x 2TB drives very cheap?
