peach-os Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 99% : not possible you need a sil controller or one of the higher level products (like rocketraid) on a pciE slot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114510-pci-to-sata-card-works-on-osx/#findComment-812313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazubu Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This controller should be supported by the usual VIA controller kexts, however no guarantee at all. You can see here that a user has VT6420 detected during boot, yours is VT6421 but it uses the same driver. You could contact him to know more about the support.

Doron Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 so i'm understanding he had no problems booting the hdd in the first time and install on it the osx right? 'cause the drivers are loaded by it self and this is not the kind of drivers in need to install by myself. am i right? thanks! i see it sold out, so this is basically the same thing right? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4706 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114510-pci-to-sata-card-works-on-osx/#findComment-813136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yes, it's the chip that matters. When you get it, give us feedback about how it works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/114510-pci-to-sata-card-works-on-osx/#findComment-813319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
