Re: Building need a hand.
PCI express x 16 is backward compatible with x8 ......... why so focused on the "X8" sounds like more of an AGP X 8 querry ????????

Re: Building need a hand.
It's probably a Dell SAS 6/iR PCI Express x8 SATA Raid controller card.
http://review.zdnet.com/product/io-c...ss-x8/32936452 Edit: You are probably better off just getting a motherboard with a built in RAID controller and totally bypassing that card you have. My honest opinion.
