Additional Sata Pcie Expan Card in DSM7

Hi all :)

 

I'm a complete noob in these matters and that's why I come here to this great Xpenlology community to ask for help!

 

I built a Nas using an "ASUS J1800I-C CELERON J1800" motherboard which is very old and only has 2 SATA II ports. I need to install 2 more disks but as this board doesn't have more sata ports available I thought of using a sata pcie expansion card.

Is there any sata pcie expansion card that works perfectly on DSM7 and that is compatible with mine motherboard that only has 1 single PCIe 2.0 x1 connection that you can recommend me?

 

Thanks.

I ended up buying this adapter instead of the one recommended above because it takes advantage of the free mini pci-e connector that is intended for the Wi-Fi&BT module.

 

It's cheaper and since I only need 2 more Sata ports, it fulfills all my requirements.

Also, using that connection destined for wi-fi&BT for the purpose of adding more SATA ports frees up the only PCIe 2.0 x1 connection that my board has available.
