For example, a PCIe x16 slot can be bifurcated into four PCIe x4 pseudo-slots, so that four PCIe devices can use the slot at teh same time via a breakout board (albeit at x4 speeds each). It must be supported by your motherboard and BIOS, and in your case, it does not seem like that's the case. I'm unsure about what does the card you link do, but, what you need is a SAS controller card (if you absolutely need to use SAS drives). Else, I'd recommend using SATA. | |
