PCI SATA II controller for WHS

[Cliff Couser]

reinstalling WHS on a box, and need a PCI SATA controller. Maybe 4 ports.

can someone recommend one that works for sure with Server 2003/WHS.

no RAID functions necessary.

The $50 range of cards form Newegg seem good enough for a WHS box...I think.

Thanks for any suggestions.

was looking at this Vantec card, but doesn't specific if it works with WHS/Server 2003.

All the cheapos will work....I've used a few different models.

Make sure you want PCI or PCIe for your MB.

Most SATAII cards are PCIe because of the speed limitations that could happen with a PCI connection but in a WHS it won't really matter.

The card you have linked has 2 external ports + 4 internal ports and will work fine.
