  • Runs at up to 6.0 Gbps and works with 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps drives
  • Fits low-profile brackets and any PCIe x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot
  • Supports NCQ, hot-plug, hot-swap and port multiplier switching
  • Works with Windows XP to 10 (32/64 bit) and Linux

Add Four SATA 6G Ports Via PCIe

This BONAEVER controller card adds four SATA 3.0 ports to a desktop computer through a single PCIe x1 slot. It uses a Marvell chipset to deliver up to 6.0G bps per port and is backward compatible with SATA 1.5G and 3.0G drives. The card fits PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 slots of any width from x1 to x16. A low-profile bracket is included for small-form-factor cases.

For Builders Expanding Internal Storage

It suits builders who need to connect up to four additional SATA hard drives or SSDs and want native command queuing, hot-plug support and AHCI 1.0 operation. Windows XP through 10 and Linux are supported. It is not for systems that lack a free PCIe slot or for users who need external drive connectivity.

PCIe x1 Host Interface Decides Compatibility

The card requires one available PCIe x1 slot and works in x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots at PCIe 2.0 or 1.0 speeds. If the motherboard has no spare PCIe slot, this card cannot be installed.

Questions about this item

What SATA link speed does the PCIe 2.0 x1 interface cap the four ports at in practice?

The card runs at PCIe 2.0 x1, so the four SATA 3.0 ports share a 5 Gbps lane; each drive can reach 6 Gbps only when the others are idle.

What bracket and slot space does the card need to fit?

A low-profile bracket is included; the board occupies a single PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot.

How is the Marvell controller initialised, and which step is often missed?

Install the AHCI driver for Windows XP through 10 or Linux, then enable AHCI in the BIOS before connecting drives; skipping the BIOS switch leaves the card in IDE mode.
