Here's some info on SATA cards.
All add in SATA cards do the same thing and their primary sata function is almost identical, except for the additional size any extra built-ins a particular card comes with.
There is no 'site' where you can go and look these up, sure you can get a comparison or two, but there’s no real site for that and most . However there is one place you can do real-time research on nearly anything.
Go to ebay and type in their search window 'sata controller cards'
A list containing roughly 2,000s cards will come up so to save you both time and confusion, in the upper left and right area of this list you will find several ways to sort all these items and making these choices will reduce the number of offerings.
Do the cheapest first to check out just what it is all basic cards do. You’ll need to know if it delivers SATA I II or II, and of course if you feel your system might benefit from anything else like an extra usb 3.0 port or just about anything, adjust your search to reflect those needs and read about the items available.
Each listing will tell you about its product as well as any extras on-board that might improve your system. Here you will learn what kind of slot is required and if it doesn't reveal some important fact, just go to the next one, And do remember to read the entire listing, you can never know what else is to be found unless you look.
But this is the place to do your basic research, learning how they do what they do and the huge variety of extras available. After all they come with a wealth of usb prorts, esata ports, ide ports, network ports and just about anything you can think of. And while almost all SATA controller cards are plug and play, sometimes a particular extra will require a driver, so pay attention to the requirements of extras that interest you.
Only after doing your research and thinking about what your system could use, consider if any of those extras would be right for you.
Almost all come out of China these days, but some are shipped from a US address so take note of shipping times if that’s important.
And finally, these cards are simple to install and can add a great deal of capability to your system.
Hope this helps guys...
