Add on SATA 3 Card for GA-790FXTA-UD5
« on: September 30, 2011, 06:22:33 pm »
Hello All,

I wondered if anyone knows of an internal PCI-e SATA3 interface card which I could add to my MB. I know Highpoint do a card but I think it is RAID and it would see  2 separate HDD as one. I want to attach it to a SSD so both interfaces are SATA 3 rather than using on the onboard SATA 2 ports.



Cheers,

Hi

I expect Allan can help you with this one as he has one of these cards and knows quite a lot about them. Personally I would have thought that even as a RAID card it should be able to see and run drives individually also.

Hi DM,

I've just PM'd him and he doesn't know.  :)

I only want it for 1 SSD, 2 HDD will be connected to the GSATA 6_7 ports.


Cheers,

Thanks for the response

I have googled it but no joy, ASRock do one for there own MB, the Lindy card has the Marvell 9128 chip and cost about £45.

I would only consider a Marvell 9128 solution if there are at least two of the chips on board.

In that case I personally wouldn't touch it as it probably doesn't work properly with only the single Marvell chip. It would be the same scenario as the onboard solutions Marvell had for motherboards and SATA3.

Thanks for that DM, much appreciated. That's £45 saved and put towards a SSD.

Thanks DM, absic gave me this good advice a  while back also, just waiting for the cost of SSD's to fall a bit.

Yes I don't think it will be very long before we see a respectable drop in prices for SSDs as they have been around for a while now and there have been a couple of updated versions now. As they take over the market hopefully the laws of scale will start kicking in and the prices will drop significantly.
