Supported PCI-e Sata cards?

[blueman]

Hi all,

 

I'm looking to add an extra drive to my NAS but have used all the 6 onboard SATA ports from my motherboard.

 

Are there any particular SATA expansion cards that are known to be working and supported by XPEnology?

The problem with your question is that it is vague. Compatibility of hardware usually depends on the loader you are using and the modules it contains to boot the said hardware. So have a search on the appropriate loader version tutorials and check the modules contained in those loader. That should give you the beginning of an answer.

Hi,

 

Is this working on a baremetal DSM 6.1 and 6.2 "syba si-pex40062"? I have DSM DS3615XS.

And what is the different between syba si-pex40062 and syba si-pex40064?

 

Thanks.

 

Kind regards.
