My WHS box is old school:
P4 2.8Ghz
2GB PC3200 DDR
Gigabyte 8IK 1100 S478 mobo
I have added as many drives to this machine as it is natively capable of (4 IDE and 2 SATA) and use it mostly for streaming 1080p to my HTPC's, and backing up the family computers.
I need some recommendations on inexpensive PCI to SATA controller cards that work with WHS. I'm not looking for RAID, just JOBD if anything. No PCIe slots means I'm limited to PCI cards. I'll probably add at least two cards to this box so they should play nice together.
Although I have six drives currently totalling a bit less than 1 terabyte of pooled storage, I'm going to start adding 1.5 and 2 TB drives in the near future.
thanks for any input!
