Two-port SATA III add-in card

This Corn Electronics adapter adds two SATA III ports to a desktop system through a single PCI Express x1 slot. It uses the ASM1061 chipset and supports link speeds of 6.0 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps. The card measures 12 cm in length and occupies a 4U bracket height. Native Command Queuing and port multiplier functionality are included.

For expanding internal drive connections

Builders who need extra SATA ports for SSDs or hard drives on a motherboard with limited onboard headers will find this card suitable. It also serves systems that require hot-plug and hot-swap capability for drive maintenance. Users without a free PCI Express x1 slot or who need more than two additional ports should consider other expansion options.

PCI Express x1 host interface

The card connects via a standard PCI Express x1 slot and presents two native SATA III connectors driven by the ASM1061 controller. This single interface detail determines whether the card fits the available expansion slot and provides the required port count.

Questions about this item

Does the ASM1061 chipset draw much power or run hot inside a closed case all day?

The card uses a low-power ASM1061 controller with no active cooling, so it adds negligible heat and draws only the small current allowed by the PCIe x1 slot.

My motherboard only has one free PCIe x1 slot — is that the only thing I need to add two SATA drives?

Yes, plug the card into a single PCIe x1 slot and connect each drive with its own SATA data and power cable; no extra controllers or brackets are required.

Will my older 3 Gbps mechanical drives work at full speed alongside a new 6 Gbps SSD on this card?

The ASM1061 negotiates 1.5, 3.0 or 6.0 Gbps per port independently, so each drive runs at its own maximum link speed without slowing the other.
