Ok my Asus P5B-E system has like 3 PCI-E 1 ports and 2 PCI ports and a PCI-E 16X

The PCI-E is used for graphics.

I seen cards offering 2 external and 2 internal but is there any offering 4 interal? I know that might saturate the 250MB/s limit it has but i'm not planning on using it for fast access storage so thats fine.

Thanks.
 
Hey guys.

I had a read throught some of the stuff on Newegg and some people have been getting bother with them.

Best ones seem like

and

I cant find the SYBA SY-PEX40008 in the UK though.Do they sell their products under a different name over here, or not at all?


Also PCI-X cards. My Asus P6T WS Pro has 2 of those and they arnt being used.I do have a Dell Perc 5i(r?) in the Pciexpress running 2 SAS drives just now but I'm considering punting that and hooking up 4 SATA's to it instead. What is the performance of PCI-X cards compared to the PCI-E 1x or the dell PERC I have already? The PCI-X all seem to have much more ports, does this mean they are capable of handling the extra throughput or they just stuck more ports on because there is more space?


Thanks loads with the suggestions guys!

Yeah, but OP is comparing single lane with PCI-X.

Not quite. They originally were after a PCIe x1 card, but then they mentioned their Asus P6T WS Pro and removing a card from the second PCIe x16 slot, so, that would enable PCIe x4 and PCIe x8 cards to be utilized.
