SATA2 PCI Interface Card?

flop · 2006-04-11 12:15:11

Hi all, I was wondering if it's possible to buy a PCI SATA2 Interface card. Suffice to say my main board does not have an onboard SATA/SATA2 controller and i have a couple of nice new SATA2 drives that i would like to take full advantage of. Cheers Flop

i dont know if a pci card can handle the bandwidth of sata2, i doubt it, you would be looking at a pci-x or pci-e sata2 card to handle that speed
otherwise it will just run @ sata1(150megs) speeds
