[QUOTE="tangmonster, post: 116296, member: 1581"] I am going to loose it. I bought a sunix sata4000 because it has the sil3114 chip. And i only have pci in the box not pci express. I read in a few places you need to update the firmware to get this card to work with 2TB hdd's but i have updated firmware so i gave it a go. As i read this card could NOT work or even start up with my 2Tb hdd's connected. I then tried to flash the bios. BUT The windows flashing tool that is on silicon image's website works for no one and not for me. The dos one dos NOT support the flash memory on my board. So i am stuck at bios version 5.0.39 and the latest one is 5.5 So this card is in fact useless to anyone with higher than a 500gb hdd. This is really frustrating. At this stage i can copy to the freenas box i can whatch programs from it but copying from it is impossible. I am desperate for a pci card that will work in freenas with western digital 2tb drives.
