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.

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.

This helps a great deal and Thank You for taking the time to explain
about the 'extras' that might be available... I didn't know the part
of the options available with SATA Cards. (USB/IDE/Network).
Are SATA I,II and III all compatible with each other, or does it all
depend on the Motherboards capability ?
