EN-Labs Mini PCIe to Dual SATA III Adapter with Full-Size Bracket

SKU CH-D42X-7F7BK

Adds two SATA 6.0 Gbps ports via a Mini PCIe slot using an ASMedia ASM1061 controller with a full-size bracket included

  • Product typeMini PCI Express to SATA
  • Add two SATA III ports via a Mini PCIe slot
  • Supports 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 Gbps transfer speeds
  • ASMedia ASM1061 controller handles NCQ and power management
  • Half-size card includes a full-size bracket for flexible mounting
  • Compatible with Mini PCIe revision 1.2, not mSATA or standard PCIe slots

Compact SATA Expansion for Mini PCIe Systems

This EN-Labs adapter converts a single Mini PCI Express slot into two SATA 6.0 Gbps ports using the ASMedia ASM1061 chipset. It supports transfer rates of 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 Gbps and complies with Mini PCIe specification revision 1.2. The half-size card includes a full-size bracket for flexible installation in small form factor systems.

Low-Profile Build with Dual Connectors

The low-profile half-size form factor fits tight chassis while the included full-size bracket offers an alternative mounting option. Two standard SATA data connectors allow direct attachment of hard drives, SSDs or optical drives without extra cabling. The card draws power from the Mini PCIe slot itself and supports AHCI, IDE and Native Command Queueing for stable operation under load.

Upgrade Path for Storage-Limited Platforms

This adapter adds internal SATA connectivity to embedded boards, thin clients or compact PCs that lack onboard SATA headers. It replaces the need for external USB enclosures when installing a 2.5-inch SSD or hard drive as a boot device. The jump is worth it when the system has a free Mini PCIe slot but no mSATA support, and RAID is not required.
