PCIe x1 to mSATA and SATA III Adapter

This EN-Labs expansion card adds one mSATA slot and one SATA III port through a single PCIe x1 connection. It uses the ASMedia ASM1061 controller and fits standard desktop profiles. The adapter supports both 27 mm half-height and 50 mm full-height mSATA SSDs. A driver CD is included for operating system installation.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders who want to add an mSATA SSD and a SATA hard drive or optical drive at the same time will find the dual connectors useful. The card also supports booting from the attached drives and hot-swap operation. It is not for users who need to connect Mini PCI-E, 1.8-inch micro SATA or Airbook SSD devices.

The deciding specification

The board provides a single-lane PCIe 1.0 link that carries two independent SATA III channels with a maximum transfer rate of 6 Gbps. This bandwidth ceiling determines whether the adapter can meet the throughput needs of the attached storage.

Questions about this item

Does the ASM1061 controller generate noticeable heat or noise during continuous operation?

The card uses a passive ASM1061 controller with no fan, so it runs silently; heat output is minimal and handled by normal case airflow.

What drive lengths and screws are needed to secure an mSATA SSD on this card?

The board accepts 27 mm half-height and 50 mm full-height mSATA SSDs and includes two screws for the four mounting holes.

Will a SATA 3.0 Gbps hard drive work at full speed when connected alongside an mSATA SSD?

Yes, the ASM1061 provides two independent SATA III channels, so a 3.0 Gbps drive runs at its rated speed while the mSATA device operates simultaneously.
