The ASMedia did work on no tested PC in combination with the camera). Googeling for some hours shows, that ASMedia chip seems to have some firmware bugs or whatever, so we dropped the idea of using that card. Usb devices like external SSD drives are usable (with high transferrates), but when using a camera, it stops after a few frames with some DMA error. The problem: The ASMedia Card is partly working. So we tried two different card types: ASMedia xy and Renesas uPD720202, where market is dominated by ASMedia and it was really hard to get a few of the Renesas cards. Situation: We want to use USB Vision cameras with USB adapter cards, providing as much bandwidth as possible. I was thinking a USB 3.0 PCIe card would be the next option, but was a bit afraid to try it after this poor result with the eSATA card.Problem with 4x USB controller PCIE cards seems to be not correctly installed. I tried changing the IRQs assigned to devices in the Dell BIOS, and I made sure I’m running the latest firmware revisions on the server, but nothing helped. The system goes through the boot process, only to stop with an 圆4 exception error 000000000000000E, just before it starts booting Windows itself. But the Startech eSATA card I bought doesn’t seem to be compatible with the R410. What I really wanted to do was add a PCIe eSATA card to it and connect the enclosure that way. Unfortunately, it has no way to connect it except via the built in USB 2.0 ports, and transfer rates are really slow. Since the R410 doesn’t have much for internal storage, I added an external SATA drive cabinet to it.

We still have an R410 rack mount server where I work that runs Windows Server 2012R2 and the Veeam backup software, so it can do scheduled backups of virtual machines running in VMWare ESXi on a newer server. I know this blog entry is about a year old now, but appreciate the info!
