heffe2001 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 http://www.ebay.com/itm/areca-ARC-1200-2-Port-PCI-Express-x1-SATA-Controller-Card-/151649601937? Asking 130 buy-it-now, or bid at 99.99. Still brand new in box, not installed or powered on. Comes with all accessories that were included with it (both profile brackets, both sata cables, books and disk, plus box). Bought it to make a raid0 parity setup, but ended up going with a 1231ML and replacing one of my MV8 cards in that machine (out of x1 ports on my board, so had to go that route). I'm just out of return time from Newegg, so my loss is your gain. For completeness-sake, I'm located in the US. Quote Link to comment

Although pricey for a 2 port card, when an 8 port card can be had for a little bit more, it is nice to be able to leverage the PCIe x1 slot for such a useful purpose, and rely on a more traditional HBA as your primary controller filling your fast and wide PCIe slots.
