Best compatible PCIE Expansion slot controller...

[tomb2k1156e02d7]

Hi, I purchased the Corsair a7200 system that is installed with the MSI B550-A PRO motherboard.

The motherboard has 6 SATA data connections and all have been used for SSDs. I've additional 2 SATA HDDs that I would like to install.

The PCI_E4: PCIe 3.0 x1 (PCH) Expansion Slot is available and a PSU connection for power is also available.

Which SATA controllers are would best be compatible so I can add the 2 additional SATA HHDs or are all controllers okay?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...Tom

Are you using both M.2 SSD slots if not you have that optin as well
As to Brand I would recomend Silverstone but they do not do a PCIE 3.0x1 SATA card only PCIE3.0x4
But any know quality brand Model shold work fine.

Yes, Both M.2 slots are in use but, I just noticed that the PCIe 3.0 x4 is available: my bad ( I should not try to do this stuff after 10pm). I will go with the IO CREST Internal 5 Port Non-Raid SATA III 6GB/S Pci-E X4 Controller Card. It seems like it will work well. It has a slot for the M.2 B Keyed (2242) SSD that can be used in the future if necessary.

Thanks again for your reply!
