  • Product typePCI Express to SATA Card
  • Add four SATA 3.0 drives at 6.0 Gbps
  • Works with older 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps drives
  • Marvell 88SE9215 chip for broad compatibility
  • Fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot
  • Boots from SSD or HDD in AHCI mode

SATA 3.0 PCIe x1 Controller Card

This card adds four 6 Gb/s SATA 3.0 ports to a desktop computer through a single PCI Express x1 slot. It uses the Marvell 88SE9215 chip for broad compatibility with current and older operating systems. The board fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and supports hot-swap drive changes.

Ideal for storage expansion without RAID

Builders who need extra SATA ports for SSDs or hard drives on a mainstream motherboard will find this a simple drop-in upgrade. It boots drives in AHCI mode and works with Windows 10 back to XP plus Linux. Users who require hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 should choose a dedicated RAID controller instead.

PCIe x1 slot requirement

The card occupies one PCI Express x1 slot and is not compatible with legacy PCI slots. Verify that your motherboard has a free PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the Marvell 88SE9215 chip generate noticeable heat or noise when the four SATA 3.0 ports run all day?

The card uses the Marvell 88SE9215 controller without a fan, so it runs silently. Typical power draw is low for a PCIe 2.0 x1 device, and the chip stays within normal operating temperatures inside a ventilated case.

What must my motherboard already provide for this card to work?

A free PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot (PCI slots are not supported) and an AHCI-capable BIOS/UEFI if you want to boot from an attached SSD or HDD.

Will my older 1.5 Gbps and 3 Gbps SATA drives work reliably alongside the 6 Gbps ports on this card?

Yes. The Marvell 88SE9215 is backward compatible with SATA 1.0 and 2.0, so legacy drives negotiate at 1.5 or 3 Gbps while newer drives run at 6 Gbps on the same four ports.
