    What is a ExpressCard?

    • ExpressCard is an interface to allow peripheral devices to be connected to a computer, usually a laptop computer. Formerly called NEWCARD, the ExpressCard standard specifies the design of slots built into the computer and of cards which can be inserted into ExpressCard slots. The cards contain electronic circuitry and connectors to which external devices can be connected. The ExpressCard standard replaces the PC Card (also known as PCMCIA or CardBus) standards
    • ExpressCard plug-in hardware available includes connect cards, FireWire 800 (1394B), USB 3.0, 1Gb/sec Ethernet, Serial ATA external disk drives, solid-state drives, external enclosures for desktop size PCI Express graphics cards, wireless network interface cards, TV tuner cards, common access card (CAC) readers, and soundcards. Media remote control units are available that use the ExpressCard slot to store and recharge

    What Is an Express Card Connection?

    An express card connection is the successor to the PC card slot on a computer whether it be a desktop or more commonly found on laptops. Express card slots are most commonly used by mobile broadband and TV tuner cards. The slots can also be used for Firewire 800, Serial ATA external hard drives, and various other computer peripheral support

    PCI RAID Express Controller Card

    • Express Card

    History:

    • The express card slot was developed following the classic PC card slot, or sometimes known as the PCMCIA slot, named after the technological group that originally developed it. The express card slot takes up less room on a computer and boasts higher speeds than previous slots. The original PC Card slot was designed for computer storage expansion, but now serves different purposes. Mostly the express card and PC card slot devices of today are mobile broadband access cards, modems and some external hard drives

    Function:

    • The most common function for express card slots today is mobile broadband cards. Mobile broadband cards provide Internet access by use of cellular towers and are usually sold by cellular companies on a separate data plan. The next most common use for these slots would be putting TV tuners in express card slots to watch TV on your computer. Third most common use would be as a card slot expansion port (for example, SD and CompactFlash cards)

    Types:

    • There are two types of express card slots. A universal express card slot is 54mm wide and accepts both 54mm express cards and 34mm card slots. The smaller 34mm non-universal slot can only fit 34mm cards as its size permits. The 54mm slot is also the classic standard size of the older, slower PC card. The only difference is that inside the Express Card 54mm slot, there is a guide near the back of the slot that moves a 34mm card into place, preventing classic PC cards to be used. There are converter cards out on the market to solve this issue

    Necessity:

    • As of 2010, the use of the Express card slot is not necessary, as many mobile broadband, TV tuner and hard drive companies have switched to USB 2.0 capabilities found on almost every computer and technological device today. Many computer manufacturers today have either dropped the slot entirely or switched to a 34mm Express card slot only

    Use:

    • If you still have an express card slot device or an older PC slot device you still use, you may want to shop around for a laptop still carrying the express slot or find a express card to USB 2.0 adapter on your next computer purchase. While the slot is useful in some situations, it is not necessary for common use today

    How to Set Up a PCI Raid Controller Card:

    • Install the drivers that came with your RAID controller card. The drivers come on a CD packaged with the card
    • Shut down your computer and turn off the power supply. Disconnect every cable connected to the computer and then open the case. Open the computer by removing the screws around the outside edge of the rear panel, and then removing the side panel
    • Find an unused PCI slot on your motherboard. PCI slots are the long white rectangles. If the slot has a cover on it, remove it
    • Slide the card firmly into the slot, making sure that the metallic "teeth" on the card line up properly in the slot. Hold the card by the edges, and avoid touching any chips or components on the board
    • Close your computer's case, reconnect all the cables and boot up your computer. During startup you will be prompted with a key to press to enter RAID setup. The specific key will be different with different RAID controller cards and software. Press the designated key
    • Select the hard disks you want to use for the RAID, and which RAID configuration you want. The exact procedure will vary with your controller card and software, but each card offers essentially the same options, and at least RAID types 0 and 1. RAID 0 offers greater access speed, and RAID 1 protects your data by mirroring it across two drives. Select two identical hard drives to use for the RAID
    • Exit setup, and your computer will reboot automatically

    Package Included:

    • 1 x PCI RAID Controller Card

00:00:00 12-20-2010 Works Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: This card is based on the SIL3114 chip. I bought 2. Works with disks cards based on the older VIA chipset do not. <br/> <br/>Remember, though, 33mhz PCI tops out at 133MB/s. Putting more than 2 disks on the PCI bus is probably a mistake.

00:00:00 12-01-2010 Great PCI SATA controller card Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: I originally used this card to add additional sata controllers for my PC, as my motherboard is older and only has four on board slots. It worked great, was easy to install and did exactly what I needed it to do with little to no effort. I ended up upgrading to Windows 7, only to find out that my mother board is not fully supported and my onboard sata controller did not have drivers for Windows 7 and gigabyte had no intentions of supporting Windows 7. I was able to move all of my hard drives over to this card and get back up and running, thanks to this purchase. It is now my primary sata controller and has been working for 8 months without one single issue. The eSata port is a great addition but it does use up an internal slot if you chose to use it. Still, the additional option is a great feature. If you are looking for a PCI SATA card - I would highly recommend this product. Price is great for the product that you get.

00:00:00 11-11-2010 Works in WindowsXP Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: Great way to hook up an additional SATA drive like the Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB. Set up a ton of those drives and turn the box into a server with Windows Home Server ($99, available on amazon), just make sure your power supply has enough of the new power connectors for SATA drives, and you've got a powerful enough power supply to run all your drives at once.

00:00:00 10-31-2010 Almost perfect Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: I bought this to add more drives to my unRaid server and everything was going well till I tried to clear 1.5TB drives on the 3rd and 4th channels. I was averaging bandwidth of about 65MB/s on the other SATA drives. However, when I got to the drives on the 3rd and 4th channel, the speed dropped to about 6MB/s. This is an unacceptable speed for an array with large drives. Also the 3rd and 4th channels show up as IDE ports even though they have SATA connectors, which leads me to believe this card was originally designed with 2 SATA and an IDE port, and some where along the lines it got modified to have 4 SATA ports. <br/> <br/>So if you are thinking about this card for an unRaid box, take a pass or only use the first 2 channels. It is a good price though!

00:00:00 10-01-2010 Good job!! Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: Installed 2 cards in 2 separate PC's as I ran out of SATA connections on the motherboard. Not using RAID and they work great on install. Works with Windows 7 64 bit default drivers. a good power splitter.

00:00:00 09-28-2010 great! Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: Works perfectly if you use the INTERNAL sata port. the external port in the picture is SATA not eSATA, but at least windows 7 wouldn't recognize the drive connected through that port. also has an IDE port so I can hook up an older DVD player.

00:00:00 09-13-2010 perfect for what i need Overall:  
  • Other Thoughts: worked perfect for what i need. a specific console requires these to flash the software... this did exactly that, installs in a breeze, just make sure you use the back most (closest to computer front face) sata connection when doing this modification.
