I'm feeling quite stupid at this point...

 

Can someone please link me a PCIe card to use to add more SATA ports to my Unraid server. Minimum 4 SATA ports (happy with more), no RAID required, just want to pass disks directly through to Unraid and let it do it's thing.

 

I guess I'm just not searching the right thing, but all I am getting is RAID cards.

 

Preferably an NZ retailer, don't want to wait for Amazon or Newegg.

 

Thanks in advance!

M1015 or similar in IT mode, from ebay.

 

it's worth the wait to get the right tool for the job.

I feel really stupid now....

 

Had 'VT-d' enabled which was obviously doing something with the PCI slots. Disabled it, made sure there was no RAID volumes created on the card, and now all the disks are just presented directly to Unraid.
