Help me find a controller card

[That Norwegian Guy]

Requirements:

 

• 2 SATA ports minimum
• SATA III isn't required, SATA II is enough
• PCIe x1, x4 or PCI legacy only
• Windows 8/ 8.1 x64 drivers
• Cheap

 

 

I don't know why, but for this type of item I'm having a nightmarish time finding anything using the normal sites for price aggregates in Norway.

how cheap?

I think it's a HighPoint 640L or 1220 is what you're after.

I found those, but their Windows 8 and later support seemed questionable. Do you have first hand experience with them working?

I will take the cheapest option, however expensive it may be, lol.

Both officially support Win 8 according to their site provided it's the new generation of the card that is flashed with different firmware. One of the guys at worked picked up a 640L tonight so I'll ask him tomorrow.
