I'm sorry if this questions has been asked I've looked through the 19pages but couldn't find an answer I have a pci to sata card VIA VT6421A it has sata ports on the outside and 2 sata ports on the inside I've seen a lot of info about the via VT6421 pci card working but nothing about the VT6421A unless I'm an idiot and the A at the end doesn't matter if anybody can help thank you in advance

It should work just fine and the method doesnt change. The best thing to do is just give it a try. You will want to use the inside port farthest from the back of the computer. Just try and dump the FW and post your results.
