Hetai Tech

Hetai Tech 2-port Mini PCI-E to SATA 3.0 expansion card

SKU CH-QPJQ-Z9Z2Y

Adds two SATA 6 Gbps ports through a Mini PCI-E 2.0 x1 slot, compatible with SATA 3.0, 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps drives

  • Adapter typeUSB to DB9 (RS-232)
  • Adds two 6 Gbps SATA ports via Mini PCI-E
  • Native PCI-E 2.0 x1 lane for 5.0 Gbps throughput
  • Backward compatible with 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps SATA drives
  • Supports NCQ and hot-plug on each port
  • Works with Windows, Linux and Mac on Mini PCI-E slot

Purpose and audience

This Hetai Tech adapter adds two SATA 3.0 ports through a Mini PCI Express slot using a native PCIe 2.0 x1 link. It targets builders who need extra internal drive connections on systems that only expose a Mini PCIe expansion point.

Compatibility checklist

Verify the host board provides a Mini PCIe slot wired for PCIe signalling rather than USB or mSATA only. The card supports SATA 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps devices and works with Windows, Linux and legacy operating systems listed in the specifications.

Build and daily use

A single-chip PCIe design keeps the PCB compact for tight chassis spaces. Two standard SATA data connectors allow straight-through cabling to drives or backplanes. Native command queuing and hot-plug support mean drives can be swapped without a reboot during routine maintenance.

Questions about this item

Does the Hetai Tech include SATA data cables or must they be purchased separately?

The card provides two SATA 6Gbps ports; SATA data cables are not included and must be bought separately.

Should I choose the Yellow colour option or is another colour available for this SATA expansion card?

The listed option is Yellow; contact the supplier if a different colour is required.

What does the 6 Gbps SATA rate mean when the card is installed in a Mini PCI-E 2.0 x1 slot?

Each port can reach 6 Gbps, but the single x1 lane caps total throughput at 5.0 Gbps, so both ports share that bandwidth.
