Question I Need SATA Card Recommendations for 2 DVR internal drives.

[tmyc7]

I have 2 SATA DVR drives. My new ASUS ROG Massive board only has 4 SATA ports. I use 6 of them for HDD drives. I also need to connect 2 DVDR Internal Drives. I need an additional 4 SATA (Or more future) 6x connections. Can anyone recommend A reliable SATA6 card with 4 or more connections, and if any a double enclosure for the 2 DVDR's?

I just corrected the motherboard.

Here is what is in my computer right now.

* Asus Rog Maximus Z790 Dark Hero Edition
* Intel i9 12900k Processor
*Corsair HX 1200i Power Supply

* EVGA Geforce RTX 3060TI
* Western Digital WD-Black 2TB SN850X NVME (with operating Sytem/ Probgrams)
* I use the all the Sata Ports on the Z690 for HDD Storage Etc.

Specs show the mobo has 6 sata ports not 4.

"6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports"

Both Vantec and OWC make enclosures for drives but they're single not double. The challenge is making sure the enclosures are deep enough for your drives, especially the Pioneer. I use an OWC enclosure but my drive is an LG which isn't as deep. Considering the price of the enclosures you may want to consider a portable drive. I also bought an LG portable BR for $100 so I'm covered not matter what happens.

All we can go by is the info you give us.


I would consider moving the workload for 2 of those SATA drives to an NVMe drive.
Freeing up 2x SATA ports.

An option......look into a DAS or a docking station.
