Hi Alessandro,
The easiest way to check is by searching for "ASM1166" in the AHCI kernel driver. You can do this on the GitHub repository for the Linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/ata/ahci.c. I found that the driver does indeed support ASM1166.
I couldn't locate the exact patch that introduced this change in the kernel source. However, there's a good chance that it is supported in the latest releases, as people have been discussing it on the internet.
Regarding recommendations and stability, I came across a related thread that might interest you. They mention firmware updates as well: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/46589-unexpected-disk-erro... .
I hope this helps!
p.s. if you need that, I can double-check our kernel sources tomorrow for you.

Hi, I need to buy a SATA3 PCI-E 3.0 2x controller with 4 or 6 port. It will be installed on my workstation. I need to use AlmaLinux or at least Fedora.
Actually I found this:
https://www.silverstonetek.com/it/product/info/expansion-cards/ECS06/
but I can't determine if it is supported by the kernel. The chipset is ASMedia ASM1166 (AHCI). I can't find good results on google search.
How I can check if the controller is supported?
If not what controller do you suggest?
Thank you in advance. Alessandro. _______________________________________________ AlmaLinux Users mailing list -- users@lists.almalinux.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.almalinux.org
