Need 3 more Sata 3 sockets - What PCIe card?

[GazCBG]

Hi,

I need to an extra 3 Sata 3 ports, as I have used the 6 ports on the motherboard.

I presume I need to add a PCIe addon card, I have the following PCIe slots available

1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x4 mode)
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x1

 

The hard drives will the 7200rpm, if it matters

What PCIe card do you recommend?

 

Regards,

Gaz

Agreed.

And stay away form cheap new chinese HBAs. They're known for taking data with them if they fail
