Hello fellow GSA enthusiasts. :)

Wanting to go faster....and NOT trying to slow things down as I upgrade my (non-VPS) system.

If I need more SATA ports for drives than I have ports (by ONE drive, rn)...



Which is faster:

Splitting a SATA in input via card to have 5 on 1 channel


Or:smiley:


A  PCIE card solution???

Seems clear direct connection to MB via card is best choice.  And I wonder about bottlenecks on the SATA port w/splitter, which is already supposedly slower...

SO...wanting to order this hardware now....but have a few Qs...

Wouldnt PCIEX16 card be fastest? More physical channels??

Any knowledge would be appreciated much.

I see many PCIE but not much else.
