I need assistance to grasp what’s lacking in vendor specs that conceals flaws. I’ve finished some studying on the internet, however there are the standard contradictory statements and claims about efficiency, and I can not type all that out. I’ve additionally finished a bunch of product searches on Amazon and different shops, and I am extra confused now than once I began. 
My upgraded rig has an ASUS X670 Strix-EA, which has solely 4 SATA ports. (It additionally has 4 slots for 4 NVMe drives, which is sweet for the long run.) My outdated motherboard had 8 SATA ports. From my outdated rig I even have this port PCIE SATA card, however all ports will probably be used on each the motherboard and the PCIE card for simply to deal with my present ODD, 3.5″ HDDs and SSDs. I am uncomfortable with having no free SATA ports and I additionally wish to add 2 HDDs at a minimal as a result of my new case has room for these HDDs plus 5 extra SSDs.
There aren’t any free slots on my new motherboard, so I can not simply get one other Syba card. I do not anticipate to get the most affordable card on the market for apparent causes.
