Hi
I have search and I have found some people like me looking for some cheap SATA card that works with wmware.
What I understand that is after a upgrade (I Think it was 5.0 or maybe 5.5) wmware did remove support for some SATA card that was working with the generic drivers.
My server is a old workstation that I use for fun and to host some of my servers that I run at home so I do not look for any fast tranfer or that. I just like to add two of my last 3TB 5400rpm disk,
I have look in the wmware list VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search and that is alot that still have support in 6.5
I do have a old RAID card but to bad that Vmware can't find it. then I did buy Another card that was going to work but the bracket that send to me was low profile and somehow I can't get it to work.
I don't care if that is a old one, I just want it to work with Wmware 6.5
My computer have
PCIe 2.0x1 slot
PCIe 2.0/3.0x16 slot
PCI slot
free to use.
Do someone can give me any idea what to buy, have no problem to buy from ebay
