Right Sata Card

[LONNIE137]

I want to add a SATA 4 port card to my NAS so i can connect Rom, 5 NAS drives and the system Drive,
The motherboard doesn't have but 4 SATA connects

Consider getting an IBM 1015 off of ebay for about $125 USD. It'll support 8 drives out of the box, with special breakout cables. If you go that route, flash it to IT mode.

It's often recommended here on the forum.

How would u load the drivers for a internal sata card to the nas system

Buy a supported contoller that's supported by FreeNAS.

That's why I recommended the IBM1015. It's internal and connects to drives inside your box.

Read the section "Additional SATA connectivity" in this thead.
