Review on 🖥️ GODSHARK 4-Port PCI SATA RAID Controller Expansion Card with 2 SATA Cables | PCI to SATA Adapter Converter for Desktop PC | Supports HDD SSD by Ronald Bleimeyer

Put it in an old Dell desktop computer. Appeared in POST. I connected a brand new Seagate 4TB drive and the adapter recognizes it. I'm not looking for RAID, I just need a SATA adapter for an IDE box. Install Ubuntu on the main IDE drive and Seagate will show up during the build. Try running separately and it will get stuck. After about 5 minutes I manage to get out of the part but the system no longer sees the hard drive. I reboot and now the adapter no longer sees the drive during POST. I'm trying different ports, different SATA cables, different IPCI slots, and multiple reboots. ZIP Code He no longer sees the drive. I plug the drive into a working windows box and can immediately go into disk manager and initialize the drive, create a volume and format the drive. Reconnect the drive to the SATA adapter and it doesn't show up. There is no utility to call the adapter to reset the card. You can't even access the card if it can't see the mapped drive. There were no instructions included. No troubleshooting steps. Waste of $18 and a few hours of your time. While troubleshooting, I've come across many websites that mention this chipset as being of questionable quality and/or reliability. Avoid
