Can you (or do you need too, since some don't) UNRAID this card? Just to run DVD drives to free up my motherboard SATA3 plugs.

Yes you can. Just select the JBOD function during the setup to treat all drives as separate (and Auto config should do that with DVD drives anyway)

Yes, I'm using it for the same reason (add extra sata ports). You can disable the raid.

it won't work. you need connect PCIE slot to Video card, 1x adapter to motherboard 1x,4x,8x or 16x PCIE slots (the 1x adapter fits all PCIE slots), then use USB cable to connect PCIE slot and 1x adapter. In the end, connect SATA power. Hope helpful

It should work just fine. This card is not too demanding on power needs and your PC has the correct slot connection, etc. it's easy to install. This card doesn't get hot either as long as its not crowded and all of your system fans are flowing air.

you will need to look up your computer to see if it can use DDR3 cards, no tools needed

You would have to see if there is a free PCIe slot first. Since the card is not large it is possible.

The card in the "ultrabay" can be switched out for another HDD/SSD, DVD/Blu-ray drive, or another cooling fan. I'm not quite sure about what you mean by the first question though.

I've had a PC with the same card as you. I going to assume your motherboard has the port big enough, and you have the power supply for it. Other than that it's as simple at removing the old and putting the new one in.

I don't Completely understand what you are asking, But that is what I am using it for. You must have a PCI-E slot on the motherboard and connect external power using one of the y adapters included (both Molex AND SATA are included) to a HDD/CD power connector. Assuming your motherboard & operating system can meet these requirements it SHOULD work. Drivers are included as well.

Its just a power run. If your psu has enough wattage it'll be fine. Look at the 4 pin power connectors....they're all pigtailed (runs). Explorer sees drives depending on sata/ide...has nothing to do with power connections.

I wouldn't get any of them, you don't get the performance they brag about. Does your motherboard have SATA II or SATA III? If SATA III you don't need this waste of money in your computer.

Yes, that is my understanding. I have used other add-on cards for the same purpose in the past and they have done just what you want to do. However, I was not able to use this particular card because it required a different type of slot on the motherboard that what I have, so I was not able to use or test this one. I could not even return it because by the time I to use it it was beyond the return date. Sorry I could not help more but it should do what you want.Carl

Yes, I have two internal drives running off this card, paired in a RAID 1, set up through Win 7. If your motherboard and OS supports RAID, it's not a problem.

Nope. I suggest grabbing a gigabyte ga 78lmt-usb3 if you're not planning on running 2 cards. Best bang for your buck

Yes, but you would have to connect it to the molex to SATA splitter adapter because the card itself only accepts SATA power.

Yes, running it now in conjunction with the 2720 card to drive 12 SATA hard drives using Stablebit software JBOD. At one time I used the software JBOD on the 2720 while using RocketRaid's hardware bios on the 640L as a RAID 5 array. Worked fine, but too complicated.

I have 3TB and 4TB drives in there. They are just straight pass throughs for the most part, depends more on the BIOS of your motherboard.

Yes, that's what I currently have it running with. However do NOT use the drivers that come in the box for the raid controller.
