Hi all,

Does anyone know of a SATA PCI x1 controller that has drivers for 64-bit Windows Server 2008 that doesn't cost $100's? I've been unable to find one and the ones I have don't support Server 2008 for primary storage (i.e. boot off the controllers drive).

Thanks,

- Lutz

The key requirement here being it supports 64 bit Server 2008. The examples given unfortunately do not.

64 bit Server 2003 drivers do not work, so unless it specifically states support for 2008, I would be inclined to think that it will not work.

I too am looking for a similar product but would like it to support sata hot swap. I just started my search though, so my hopes are still high. :)
