PJK3 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Is it possible to get improved support / coverage for this card? It was a good fit for my needs, as I needed a 9th internal SATA port and wanted eSATA support for a Port Multiplier later. StarTech PEXESAT322I PCI-Express x1 Dual Port SATA III (6.0Gb/s) Controller Card (2 Int or 2 Ext or 1 Int / 1 Ext) Specifications Speed: SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) Ports: 2 x eSATA, 2 x SATA, or 1 eSATA & 1 SATA (2 ports active at any time via jumpers) Chipset: ASMEDIA ASM1061 Port Multiplier: Support on 2 ports, can use 2 PM at a time (1 to 4 Drives Supported Through Port Multiplier) RAID: No Windows AHCI Driver picked it up with default drivers. (Did not record what driver it used.) Installed ASMedia Tech Driver asstor64.sys 2.0.8.0 for PM support (have not tested a PM myself yet) Tested on WHS 2011 64 bit IO test 1.0.5171.26796 With Unsafe Direct I/O unchecked StableBit Scanner - WMI SMART Status: Yes SMART Attributes: Yes SMART Error Log: No Power Mode: No SMART Thresholds: Yes StableBit Scanner - Direct I/O Identify: No SDD: Yes SMART Status: No SMART Attributes: No SMART Error Log: No Power Mode: No SMART Thresholds: No Methods: With Unsafe Direct I/O checked StableBit Scanner - WMI SMART Status: Yes SMART Attributes: Yes SMART Error Log: No Power Mode: No SMART Thresholds: Yes StableBit Scanner - Direct I/O Identify: Yes SDD: Yes SMART Status: Yes SMART Attributes: Yes SMART Error Log: Yes Power Mode: No SMART Thresholds: Yes Methods: ScsiPassthrough, ScsiPassthrough48, ScsiMiniportPortDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty77 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 ..interested in this too. Considering this card (chipset recommended on here I believe) to be paired with a Startech 8 bay eSATA enclosure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher (Drashna) Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 ASmedia 1061 and marvell chipsets are recommended. namely for functionality, and reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
