Message: <blockquote data-quote="moab" data-source="post: 552766" data-attributes="member: 73157">i have a simple mATX motherboard with 5 SATA ports on board. would i need to buy sata controllers if i would like to add additional SATA HDDs? Yes. External drives can utilize USB2.0 but data transfer is very slow....and why would i need to buy RAID controllers? To add redundancy, performance gains....is RAID only realized via pci cards?sometimes included in the motherboard, also pci-e cards.[USER=20102]NLS[/USER]what are other alternatives?</blockquote>
