I have two different controller cards, from two different systems. Both are PCI. One a SYBA brand, the other an I/OCrest brand. If that matters at all.

Can you mix them? As put them both in one board, or does it need to have the same chipset?

Just wondering. I don't think I'll have to do so, but who knows.
 
I'm really only guessing but you should be able to use them both. My present mobo has 3 different SATA controllers built-in.
 
But that's on the same type of chip.

I mean, I can try it, see what happens. Just thought I'd ask while I'm still waiting for my new board to get here.
 
If the chips are different manuf. then it probably won't work. You can swap chips / boards / cards if they are identical. If they are different the array probably won't be recognized.
