In the process of trying to config (or groping in the dark?!? ) a file / print server I find myself on the short end of SATA ports stick.

While I have a PCI-e connector, it is unusable because of the Swiftech NB cooler so need to go plain PCI. This shows the fit issue I had with the initial DreamCatcher build…..
Now the “apparent” issue, SATA II (300MB/s) seems to only come in the PCI-e format > is this industry standard and/or limited by the PCI buss? Secondly if I am limited to 150MB/s will it really be that “noticeable” for home usage? | |  | |  | |
PCI bus is 133
Mb/s not 150
Mb/s
Sata 1 is 150
Mb/s
Sata2 is 300
Mb/s
now as far as seeing a "noticeable" difference well it's all depends on what you're gone do with it but i'm pretty sure that you wont see much of a difference except for benchmarks
