ascarneiro got a reaction from Antoineki in 8 port sata card for Windows 10
Hello,
I need add a 8 port sata card on my plex server, im using Windows 10.
I looked at Supermicro card, but the product page dont say anything about Windows 10 drivers.
Anyone know a stable 8 port sata card, compatible with Windows 10 and with SMART support and allow drives save energy (stand by)? Im using StableBit DrivePool and Scanner.
I dont need RAID, just HBA.
I know about the M1015 cards and similars with same chip, but these card need firmware crossflash and I do not want to stay depending on whether an update works or not, I prefer a solution plug-and-play.
Any advice?
Thank

Hello
Thank everyone for the advices.
After some months of research, I purchased one Adaptec HBA 1000-8i, this is a 12Gb SAS card with 8 port. This card arrived today and is running now on my PLEX server with drivepool + snapraid.
This card have native windows 10 drivers, no issues to install, easy firmware update - im very satisfied.
Now Im looking for a SAS Expander - I saw the HP SAS Expander 24 port, really low cost (30 - 40 US dollars on ebay) - this will be my next buy.
For now I have 8 port on SAS card and 6 port on motherboard - with the SAS expander I can full my LIAN LI PCD8000.
Thank
Alvaro
