I want to use add a SATA 3 PCI card (IO CREST 4 Port, SI-PEX-40064) to my Dell PowerEdge 2900 (ECM01) Server so that I can mount a SSD to use for backup.
Does the SATA port on this Server support SATA 3 drive and is there any configuration needed?
I suspect that the speed will be slow due to the legacy SATA port on the motherboard. Will the SATA 3 PCI card improve this or am I just better off using older SATA 1 SSD?
Thanks for any help you can provide!!
