Hi everyone
I’m looking to expand my storage. I have a case capable of 8 bays and I don’t think I’ll exceed that soon (currently at 3 drives).
I bought a m.2 slot with a bunch of sata ports on it but it doesn’t work. I’ve researched and read an HBA is a much better solution anyway.
If I’m going to get the HBA I might as well run all 8 ports on it.
Aside from the clearance on the card in the case, are there any other considerations I need to he aware of? I justbeant to get something that works from the get go. For my uses I have a good amount of apps and I stream media from the server
CPU- i5-10400f 2.90ghz
MOBO - asrock h570m-itx/ac
RAM - gskill f4-3200c16-8gvkb
GPU - Quadro k620 (gm107gl) rev a2
CASE - Jonsbo N3
The specs of your motherboard says M2_1 slot only works with 11th gen CPU but yours is 10th gen. That could be why the SATA board doesn’t work.
Yeah that checks out.
It seems the HBA is the better performing option anyway so I’ll go for that
