I bought a cheap Chinese PCI 4port SATA RAID Card off of ebay and don't know if I should stick it in a pci legacy slot or pci express slot? Any help would be appreciated. I don't plan on using the raid part. just needed more sata ports for an optical drive and maybe a hot swap hard drive. I would never tust this to do something like raid. These are the specs that the ebay auction listed:
Silicon Image Sil3114 chipset
Brand: Janestar
Serial ATA (SATA) – 1.5 Gbps (150MB/s)
● Compliant with SATA 1.0 specification
● Integrated SATA Transport, Link logic, and PHY layer
● 48-bit sector addressing
● Four independent DMA channels with 256B FIFO per channel
● Virtual DMA in PCI with serial link in legacy PIO mode
● Supports command buffering for ATA TF shadow registers
● Supports ATAPI devices: CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.
● Hot-Plug capable
● Supports 32-bit wide PCI bus at 66MHz
● Selectable drive strength on Tx for backplane applications
● Supports spread spectrum clocking to reduce EMI
● Single, digital PLL architecture with 1 PLL for all 4 channels
● Drivers supports Just a Bunch of Disks(JBOD)
● ROM BIOS supports RAID setup and Boot Features
