H81 Sata Port Multiplier
Now it's less than 10 drives. ~6-7 4tb 5900 rpm. The port problem was fixed with cheap asm1061 cards. I bought all of them (posted earlier) and all were working with the port multiplier toy. Kept one, sold the rest... -

H81 Sata Port Multiplier
Got an Antec 380d psu... At idle it shaved OVER 10W. A g3258 + h81 mobo + 1SSD eat 10W at idle with a 380d and ~20W with a fsp. At ~40W loads both psu are the same, but at very low loads the difference is huge. I have even seen 8.40W!! http://s17.postimg.org/qpv3lv3mn/image.png -

H81 Sata Port Multiplier
That was an awesome read with lots of info! Thanks for taking the time! I have a basic fileserver built with old parts, that does absolutely nothing but store files and serve them via smb over the Gb lan. It looks like this: - GA-870A-UD3 - phenom 2 x4 @3000 (1.15v load, 0.75v idle@1100mhz... -

H81 Sata Port Multiplier
Hi, i'm looking to build a basic fileserver with 10 hard drives. I want it to use as little power as posible at idle with drives off. Was thinking of a G1820 + some h81 mobo, like the ASROCK H81M-VG4, 2GB RAM, windows 7. The issue is with the sata ports. With only 4 ports, one needs more for...
