I am trying to put together a file server and trying to get as many SATA ports as I can. I found a motherboard I like but it only has 6 SATA ports. It also has PCI-Ex8 and PCI-Ex16 slots. I want to add a SATA card. Supermicro makes an 8 port SATA card that is PCI-Ex4.
Can I use a PCI-Ex4 cards in a PCI-Ex8 or PCI-Ex16 slot? If so then I can have 22 SATA drives in this box. -- Easy, fast GUI development. http://PerlQt.wikidot.com
