Flashtek: cool. does it work ok
<
lkcl>
how much do they cost?
<
Flashtek>
yip, out of the box
<
Flashtek>
and it was like 7 quid
<
lkcl>
pci-express right?
<
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>
Flashtek: if i had a machine that could take it, maybe! pain in the neck they are :)
<
Flashtek>

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
<
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
<
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
<
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>
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
<
Flashtek>
Install gentoo already
<
arossdotme>
acterly the system i'm putting this card is currenty debian
<
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
<
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.
