My backend needs more storage. It has no more sata ports, and no more
PCI/PCIe slots to put in a SATA card.
It does have a spare IDE header on the motherboard. Is there an
adaptor that I can use to convert the motherboard's IDE header to a
sata drive? Google kinda tells me there is, but I can't find any
locally, and there is a deal of confusion from my google searches. The
confusion is between adaptors that allow you to use a IDE drive on a
SATA motherboard on the one hand, and what I want (SATA drive on IDE
motherboard) on the other hand.
Alternatively PCIe to 4 sata port card that works with linux (I have a
PCIe to two SATA port at present).
Or a source of IDE 2 or 3 TB hard drives?
