Tried to Divert a SATA port lacking issue with a PCIe substitute.
I'm currently trying to resolve a Sata port issue on my board, (and by Port issue, I'm referring to the lack thereof, considering it only has 2 ports on it.) My original solution was using a PCIe Sata Expansion card. Only the problem was my board has a PCIe 1.0, and not the 2.0 I had apparently ordered. None of this was cheap, and I'm about to flood my amazon with refund orders. What Can I do to find, an EXACT similar motherboard type to the one I already own + 6 sata, and more PCIe expansion buses at the south of the board? I really enjoy this board for only the fact that it also sports a wireless NIC slot built in, but honestly at this point, replacing the motherboard entirely, is seemingly where I'm headed now.
