RE: are there any plans for SATA to use 2/4 lanes PCI-E ? - Girbur - 12-11-2018
I had the card for 2 weeks was working perfect until today just die,
lspci -V gave me no reply waiting for exchange from Amazon in the meantime put back my old card
Kind of strange since, I made sure my case was always below 40C
and for people wondering I supplied power to the other drive by adding an other Pine sata power cable.

we are talking about chip Marvell 88SE9235 (non RAID) or Marvell 88SE9230 (Raid), using two PCI-E lanes.

It works right out of the box, not doing anything in the system (I personally did not do anything).
Yes
Ma question did you put 4 drives ?
since myself I already got 2 X 3.5 how would you feed the 5 volts to the 2 X 2.5 ? what do you think wold be the best solution?
Safest to risky in order
1-external 5 volts supply
2-an other Pine sata power cable https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-power-cable-for-dual-sata-drives
taking the 5volts from the existing Pine sata power cable
4- getting 5 volt power from pin 4 and 6 of PI2 bus?
I'm probably asking for trouble but so far, so good. [Somebody stop me!!!
]I'm using one of these cards with a Marvel 9215 chipset. I've got the 2-2.5 drives in the RockPro NAS case populated with SSDs as my media storage (software RAID 1), and then using this kit here I've converted the 3.5" bay to house one additional SSD for containers and stuff.
I am using an EMMC chip for my OS, but other than that the device is headless and consumes ~10Watts (based on an initial reading only).
I'm sure someone will point out why this is a bad idea but so far so good!
