SATA controller card - will it work?

I need to grow my RAID5 but have run out of SATA ports on my motherboard, so I am considering buying a [url=]Lycom PE-103R5[/url] which is a PCI-Express 1x card based around the Silicon Image SiI3132. The sales spiel claims that it is supported in 32/64-bit RHEL & SuSE, but I haven't been able to find out whether it will work in my Arch64 box?
Can anybody help shine any light onto this?

It appears the sata_sil24 module provides functionality for this card:

  • Recommend a 4 way SATA controller card?

    I am having huge problems of finding a SATA controller card that:
    1. Can attach 4 discs
    2. No raid (i will use ZFS)
    3. supports NCQ
    4. supports SATA II (i.e. 3Gbps)
    If anyone know of a card that works, please post the model here, so I can buy it. Ive looked everywhere, but it seems that the SATA chipset that are supported, can only be found on motherboards, and not as standalone cards.

    Ok, this card requires a PCI-X slot. It is therefore suited to server motherboards. I have heard that PCI-X will work with an ordinary PCI slot without problems. Can anyone confirm this?

  • KT6V LSR (MS 7021) SATA controller card second opinion, please

    I want to thank Fredrik Asenius for his reply to my previous post.
    However, due to the fact that the purchase of a SATA controller card and two SATA2 hard disks will be handled, of necessity, at a distance of 800 kilometers (involving courier expenses), the technician of the store has requested that I ask for a second opinion from another expert in the forum. An error, therefore, could be very costly. (No offense of any kind intended to Fredrik Asenius)
    My motherboard is the MSI KT6V LSR (MS 7021) Via KT600 Northbridge and Via 8237 Southbridge chipsets.
    Both SATA connections are currently taken up by two SATA hard drives (no striping, nor mirroring in use). The rest of the installation consists of IDE CDRW and DVDRW drives, as well as an MSI Nvidia NX6200AX (256 RAM) AGP video card and a Soundblaster Live Value PCI audio card. The other four PCI slots are not occupied. The system also has 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and a 520-watt PSU. I am running Windows XP SP2 Professional.
    My questions are the following:
    (1) Since the two SATA connectors on my motherboard are occupied, if I wish to add another SATA device I will have to install a SATA controller card. Does the SATA controller card have to be SATA 1 or can I also use a SATA 2 controller card?
    IMPORTANTLY, the technician questions whether the motherboard will accept a controller card adding more SATA devices. He says that you cannot add any more SATA devices to this motherboard. Is he correct?
    (2) If it is possible to add more SATA devices using a controller card, since the chipset on the motherboard is Via the SATA controller software is also from Via. Does the SATA controller card also have to be one that uses the Via SATA RAID software? (In other words, are there compatibility issues? Can all this all work together?)
    Once again, thanks for the help.

    I have had a fair amount of experience with this kind of issue.
    1. No, the add in card does not need to be SATA I, it can be SATA II. I recommend a SATA II card and SATA II drives. Putting SATA II drives on a SATA I controller can fail to work.
    2. Is he wrong? Essentially, yes he is wrong. It depends on how literally you take his words. You can NOT add more SATA drives to the motherboard. You CAN add an add-in SATA card and then put the additional SATA drives on that new add-in card. The difference in wording the answer is critical.
    You ask about the Via chipset on the motherboard and also on the add-in card. Actually, it is probably LESS likely that the add-in card will work if the chipsets are the same. The issue is the computer being able to differentiate between the two controllers. I had this very problem with a machine.
    That computer had two add-in cards. Each was the same brand. The computer could not differentiate between the two cards and gave a hardware error. I replaced one of the cards with another brand and it works fine. The manufacturer suggested trying the cards in different PCI slots. I did not try that, I just got a new card because it was easier for me.
    The add-in card does NOT need to support RAID, that is optional. If you do not want to use RAID, the card does not have to support it. If you do want to use RAID, obviously the card does need to support it. RAID is part hardware and part software so if the card supports it and you do not to set it up as RAID, that is fine.
    One caution...If the add-in card has an external port that you want to use, be aware that there is something called e-SATA that might use an incompatable type of port connecter. I had a card with that connecter and I found that the cables are extremely expensive and also hard to find. Most external SATA connectors are the SATA I style that you are used to though.

  • I upgraded to mountain lion. Now my virgin mobile broadband internet card will not work

    I uninstalled the broadband software and then tried to reistall it but it will not work. I pluged in my usb card but it doesn't show that it is pluged in. I tried the card on my girlfriends computer and it works. I pluged a camera in my usb port and that works. Can anyone help me out.
    Thanks

    My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

  • Multiple SATA Controller Cards

    In addition to a couple of external firewire drives and an external dual SATA enclosure, I'm considering installing the Sonnet G5 Jive or similar multi-bay internal solution.
    I don't see this as presenting much of a problem, but just curious if anyone else has had any issues installing two PCI-X SATA controller cards in their systems...
    anyone tried this?

    Thanks for the response DaddyPaycheck
    That's interesting. I hadn't considered power supply issues; I just assumed that any manufacturer...particularly Sonnet...would have considered a potential problem such as this...(maybe that's a bit naive on my part).
    At the same time, I hadn't really done much research on the Jive. I wanted to be certain that two SATA cards wouldn't pose a problem first...
    Thanks again

  • Hi, i want to buy iphone 5s silver and iphone 5s gold both with T-mobile nano card. Is Iphone 5s unlocked? if i will bel for example in Ukraine and will use the ukrainian nano card will it work there?

    Apple does not unlock iPhones. however, T-Mobile, where you live does offer official unlocking. So, contact them as to the cost/requirements.

  • Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

    Should I try this?  I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure
    Thanks

    Should I try this?
    No.
    It won't work.
    Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
    As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
    The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
    The cards are not interchangeable.

  • Problem with NEO2 and sata controller card

    1.Product Type: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025)
    and the controller card is a InnoVision DM-8301 and the hard drive is a Seagate ST3320620AS
    2.BIOS version: The newest one, 1C0 or something.
    3.External VGA Type: Geforce 6800 GT
    4.CPU Type: AMD 64 3500+
    5.Memory Type: G Skill ZX 2048mb.
    6.Power Supply Type:
    7.Operating System: Xp Pro
    8.Problem Description:
    Hello. I have a strange problem with my controllercard. I wrote this text to InnoVision suport and they send me files and bios updates for a whole week and it was still the same problem. And then i tried the card in an older computer and everything worked fine.
    I wrote
    "Hello. I got some problems with my new controller card. I can find my new harddrive ,that's conected to the controller card, when iam inside windows and it's seems to be no problem. I can look on every seting on it and everywhere i look i can read "No problem". I Also did some test with the seatools programe and everything was fine. But when i schould copy files to it the coumputer start lagging after a few seconds and i cant do anything. After a while i can move the mouse around but the it laggs again. My computer is overclocked at the time but i have tried to use the harddrive when it's not clocked also. Also when im goin in to teh controlpanel and starts the setings for Sillicon Images sata controll and have music on my computer, the music laggs for a very very short moment. Something must be wrong and i can not find it."
    It's still the same problem in my computer. The older computer had a MSI moderboard with a VIA chip and i have a nForce 3. InnoVison said i should talk to you about this problem. I have 3 harddrives but i use this controllercard because i want to have my computer overclocked and then i can't use 2 of the sata ports as i think you know.
    I would be very thankful if you could help me with this problem.

    I've used a noname SATA pci card (non raid) with SIL3112 on my neo2 without problems with 1C bios.
    Think you may try with a disk lower than 48bitLBA need (137GB barrier), eg a 120GB disk
    Quote:
     have the InnoVision EIO DM-8301 and had alot of problems using it with WD 160MB SATA drive.
    I am using Intel 865 based MB with 2 original SATA channels. The original SATA channels are bootable.
    I could not used the EIO card with 160G HDD. The whole setup is working only after I connected oine of my 120G Segate SATA HDD to the EIO Sata card.
    I think this card do not properly support HDD above 120G.

    Btw: you have xp sp2 ?
    48bitLBA is not enabled in the first version.

    Edit:
    Here's another with complete different setup and same problems
    http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic212148-4-1.aspx
    I doubt it has anything to do with your motherboard and/or bios.
    Btw: I looked at innovision and their drivers in download area are very old.
    Get the latest SIL3112 drivers for XP here:
    http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=63&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
    And remember 3112 is sata150 only , so it's not sure it will work with your drive at all .
    Anyway it should be set to fixed sata1.5G with jumper - not certain the controller can autonegotiate
    without trouble. You cannot have command queing enabled either , disk support only NCQ and controller TCQ
    so having command queing set ON will cause major conflicts in data transfers.

  • Wireless card, will this work? What about extender antenna?

    I found this on eBay, will it work on a Lombard, or Wallstreet, using OS9? Anybody using one?

    Anybody use one of those extender antennas? Which ones would work?
      Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    sludgedragon,
    The WiFi PC cards using the Orinoco chipset is the same chipset used in the original AirPort card (802.11b). According to Apple, if you are running OS 9.2.2, you can install AirPort 2.0.4 and have full compatibility.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120120
    However, I cannot say the card you referenced from Enterasys with added features and updated firmware will still work with Apple's AirPort software. The ad does say it comes with a CD containing software for all OSes and also various versions of firmware.
    It should work just fine on a Wallstreet or Lombard. There is also iOXperts wireless driver which supports it and many other cards.

  • GIGAWORKS AND ASUS REALTEK SOUND CARD will they work together or what sound cards are compatable?

    S750 GIGAWORKS AND ASUS MOTHERERBOARD REALTEK SOUND CARD
    My system currently used a built in sound card on the main board asus hd audio
    I am wondering if these speakers will work fully with the built in sound card or will I need to purchase another sound blaster card?

    Is your built in Realtek 7.1 analog? If so, does it have 3 output jacks for 7.1 or 4.1 If 4, you'll need a cable with 4 1/8th inch plugs on each end, if it's got 3 the included cable will work fine. Either way it shouldn't be a problem, although some onboard sound may not sound as good as a dedicated higher-quality soundcard as high quality speakers tend to bring out both the best and worst in your other sound equipment.

  • HT2736 uk gift card will not work on spanish itunes

    My children have purchaced a £15 Itunes gift card from the uk so I may buy music from Itunes I live in Spain and Im unable to add or redeem the gift card to my Spanish account.I under stand about the exchange rate ect has any one any ideas if i can use the card in Spain or is it only for uk use.

    iTunes gift cards are country-specific, so a UK card can only be used in the UK on a UK iTunes account. Assuming that your children are in Spain with you, do you know anybody in the UK that you could give or sell it to ?
