TYAN S7012 and SATA III Adapter

[diomedes.dominguez]

(Sorry for my bad english) I recently bought a Tyan S7012 S7012GM4NR Motherboard for USD$40 on eBay and I noticed that it only has SATA II. Is there any PCI-e adapter to SATA III compatible with this motherboard?

What do you need SATA3 for. If for SSD, they work just fine on SATA2, loosing little of overall performance and HDDs do not get any performance improvement .
Controller itself can't get much more performance if not connected to at least PCIe x4 and won't give an SSD any special performance boost.

A SATA III drive will work just fine on a SATA II motherboard.

Yes it's for SSD, but a SATA 3 6GB/s solid state drive installed on a motherboard that only supports SATA 2 3GB/s will have read and write performance reduced to SATA 2 3GB/s levels.

Max Read: up to about 285MB/s
Max Write: up to about 275MB/s

I found the adapter http://a.co/9F9RkjI, I'll let you know as soon as I get it.

Really unecessary - - - speed difference in real terms is negligible -- certainly not enough to be throwing $30 away on a SATA card that's just going to add an extra layer of potential hassle to your rig. Such cards are for older motherboards which don't have SATA at all.

Still - you know best it seems.
