The SATA2-PCIE01 is 2 port Serial ATA to PCI Express Card Host Adapter. Use this driver with Windows 7 and the latest BASE BIOS to access non-RAID hard. Using outdated or corrupt Sabrent SATA 2 Port Raid PCI Controller Card SBT-SRD2 drivers can cause system errors, crashes, and cause your computer or hardware to fail. Furthermore, installing the wrong Sabrent drivers can make these problems even worse. The Syba SD-SATA150R 2 Port SATA PCI controller card with optional software RAID function. The controller card is compatible with SATA 1.0 devices, providing the versatility to use older storage, and features support for RAID 0 and 1 modes as well as port multiplier capability with command-based and FIS-based switching for connecting multiple external hard drives to a host PC through a single.

I recently added a StarTech 4 port PCIe SATA card to a Linux server. The card is connected via SFF-8087 to a Norco 4224 backplane and 4 new hard drives that I'd like to configure into a new software RAID.

The mobo (Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5) already has 8 onboard SATA ports using a similar chipset (2 x Marvell 88SE9172 chips), which are working fine and are currently configured into 2 separate software RAIDs (using mdadm).

However, the system does not detect the new hard drives, and I also cannot get into the BIOS for the controller card using ctrl+M as suggested by the manual. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or have any advice for how to troubleshoot? Thanks in advance!

Output from lspci (seems to detect the SATA card, 5th entry from the end):

Output from lsblk (only existing drives are detected):

We finally did end up figuring out the problem, it was the wrong type of cable.

We were using a forward breakout cable.

This particular setup requires a Discrete to SFF-8087 (Reverse breakout) cable.

Unraid.net has an explanation of the difference between forward and reverse breakout SFF-8087 cables, even though from the outside they look identical.

That PCI device fifth from the bottom is not the StarTech SATA card, but a Marvell 6Gbps chipset.

2 Port Pci Raid Controller Drivers

I don't see the PCI SATA card listed. It might be defective, and I wouldn't doubt it. I worked in a computer shop back in the day that used those everywhere and they had an out-of-box failure rate of about 10%. That may be sampling bias, but out of several hundred I tend to trust the trend.

Make sure that you don't have settings in your BIOS disabling PCI cards or PCIe to PCI bridges. Some setup programs refer to this as 'legacy free' mode.
