Question Robust PCI --> SATA Card

[kirkdickinson]

I am building a Photoshop computer with an ASUS ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI AMD AM5 X870E ATX Motherboard.

It only has 4 SATA ports. I need a fast and reliable card, but don’t want to use an LSI HBA because I’ve heard that they are very power hungry and run really hot.

How many drives are you planning to install?

I have 5 hot swap bays for swapping video projects as they come. I also need a DVD drive, so I am short 2 ports.
