<lkcl> Flashtek: cool. does it work ok
<lkcl> ?
<lkcl> how much do they cost?
<Flashtek> yip, out of the box
<Flashtek> and it was like 7 quid
<lkcl> pffh :)
<Flashtek> eBay
<lkcl> pci-express right?
<Flashtek> ya
<lkcl> my new toy is a mendel90 3d printer :)
<lkcl> it wasn't 7 quid
<Flashtek> want to swap your printer for my usb3 card?
<Flashtek> lkcl: see pm
<lkcl> ack
<lkcl> Flashtek: if i had a machine that could take it, maybe! pain in the neck they are :)
<Flashtek> my desktop system has like 4 pci-express slots

<arossdotme> Flashtek: and advice for choosing/which pci/pci-express sata interface to buy? 4 ports min
<arossdotme> it's being a long quest to add more sata ports to my old pc
<Flashtek> arossdotme: one that meets your needs
<arossdotme> Flashtek: to find one at all
<arossdotme> admitary i was first searching for pci and not pci-express
<Flashtek> EBay
<arossdotme> so are they plug and play?
<arossdotme> standards? this EHIC thing?
<Flashtek> Generally, unless they are the really cheap ones
<arossdotme> so branded ones
<Flashtek> Adaptec do some awesome ones
<Flashtek> Generally speaking brand name ones work really well, unless they are really cheap
<arossdotme> thank you so much for clearing that up as it's be a trouble
<arossdotme> hmm btw i'm not talking about raid just adding sata ports
<Flashtek> I know
<arossdotme> good good
<Flashtek> Though a hardware raid card would do the job very well too
<arossdotme> it was just i did come across a lot of raid this and raid that... so i starting to fear that might be what you ment
<arossdotme> ok
<Flashtek> arossdotme: i was looking on ebay at some while searching for usb3
<arossdotme> oh right
<Flashtek> Amazon might also assist
<Flashtek> All depends on your exact requirements
<arossdotme> i guess ones from aliexpress count as cheep - unsupported
<Flashtek> Generally
<arossdotme> just adding tons of sata ports the more the better
<arossdotme> not so bothered about speed
<arossdotme> my pcs are sata 1 anyway
<Flashtek> Do you need bios level access or are you happy with waiting for a bit of software to load?
<Flashtek> That's really the question here
<arossdotme> i'm not bothered about bios
<arossdotme> got internal sata ports for OS
<Flashtek> Get whatever you like then
<arossdotme> oh
<arossdotme> didn't know that was the differance
<Flashtek> What os?
<arossdotme> gnu/linux :D
<arossdotme> trisquel
<Flashtek> Most cards tend to work out of the box
<arossdotme> so no non-free firmware suported
<Flashtek> Might need a kernel module though
<arossdotme> is a free software only distro
<arossdotme> it's based on ubuntu
<Flashtek> Another debian eh?
<arossdotme> kind-a
<arossdotme> oh
<Flashtek> Install gentoo already
<arossdotme> acterly the system i'm putting this card is currenty debian
<Flashtek> Brb
<arossdotme> ok well thanks for you help
<arossdotme> what i should have asked was did any need any non-free firmware or modules to work?
<arossdotme> lkcl: oh yea, $110~ thats great, i wonders how your able to get that sort of pricing
<arossdotme> :)
<Flashtek> Basically I would check with the seller what the control chip is and check the kernel for support
<Flashtek> arossdotme: he gets it by selling parts of other people's bodies
<Flashtek> This is why we don't let him have sharp things
<Flashtek> Ok, salmon in the oven... Potatoes cooking... kettle next.
