Intel 31244 SATA hard drive controller. Dell does not have the driver. Even tech support does not have it and said it should be on the original CD (if you created one) when purchasing the server.

The driver is available on Intel's web site Direct Port Access Windows Driver [WINDPA.ZIP] l http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=7072&lang=eng&wapkw=(Intel+31244+PCI-X+to+Serial+ATA+Controller) This driver works great. I put in (4) 2tb drives in this server and it makes a wonderful little archive server. With only SATA drives, I would not want to run my SQL server or Exchange on it, but it does make a fine back up and utiltiy server.
