The raid card in question has only 2 sata ports on the card. I'd like to connect 5 drives to this, and I was wondering how I could achieve that.
The highpoint website states that up to 10 drives can be connected to the card, and hence I assume that up to 5 can be connected to each port on the card.
Thanks.
Where can I find a port multiplier that doesn't take up a PCI slot? I had assumed that I'd need one of these, but I wasn't able to find one anywhere that didn't take up a PCI slot. – Varun Madiath – 2011-04-04T17:55:33.807

You don't have to mount it in a slot, you could remove the bracket and mount it anywhere you like. – Majenko – 2011-04-04T17:59:49.537
