How do I get 13 SATA ports?

kevpatts · 2007-09-04 12:09:44

Okay all, Looking to build a CD/DVD duplicator machine with 11 DVD-RW drives and two RAID0 hard drives. I have all the instructions needed here. The problem is I need at least 13 SATA ports for this. Any Ideas how I get this? Kevpatts 8T8 Mod edit: Author of thread has proved it is for legit usage thread unlocked.

depending on how many your motherboard has already, lets say 4 for now. And depending on how many pci slots you have, lets say 2. then 2 of these:

will give you a total of 12 sata ports.

Or this beast, which has 16 sata ports:

You'll need PCI expansion cards. The most SATA ports i've seen on a mobo is 8.
