Thinking about something like this

https://www.ebay.com/itm/DEBROGLIE-PCIe-to-2-5-SATA-III-SSD-Dual-Slot-Adapter-6Gb-s-PCI-Apple-Mac-Pro/153159003404?hash=item23a8fced0c:g:XDQAAOSwuspY~cUi

For my OS SSD and a 1TB SSD to replace my storage HDD. My main goal is to clean up unnecessary cabling. Has anyone ever ran one of these, and is it likely to run on my x58 Sabertooth without too much trouble?

There normally cheap sata controllers, so not great, but otherwise they work.

 

Why do you want it though? Just use onboard sata, the sata ii spends really won't affect anything.

Like OP said, it's for the sake of clean cabling.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Then just get something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUN-7026993-Flash-Accelerator-F40-400GB/292784621690?epid=1637194573&hash=item442b52c87a:g:d8sAAOSwXWhbz0vF:rk:2:pf:0

 

Comes with the ssds included and a better hba.

Doesn't x58 have compatibility issues with drives like that? As boot drives anyway.

My HDD is 1TB and I'm not willing to go lower for the sake of cleaning up wires. I want 1.120Gb at least, and with the linked card and a 1TB SSD I can do that for about $160.
