Green circuit board with two red SATA ports and a gold PCIe x1 edge connector

LSI

LSI 2-Port SATA 3.0 PCIe x1 Network Card

SKU CH-CYZD-J283J

Adds two SATA 3.0 ports via a PCIe x1 slot for 6.0 Gbps SSD or HDD expansion

  • Adds two SATA 3.0 ports via a single PCIe x1 slot
  • Runs at 6.0 Gbps and drops to 3.0 Gbps or 1.5 Gbps for older drives
  • Works with Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista and Linux
  • Supports hot-swap so drives can be changed without shutting down
  • Fits x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots for flexible installation

Two-Port SATA 3.0 Expansion

This LSI controller adds two SATA 3.0 ports through a single PCI-Express x1 slot. It suits builders who need extra drive connections for SSDs or HDDs on Windows or Linux systems. The card fits x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slots and runs without extra drivers on supported operating systems.

Upgrade From Onboard Ports

The card replaces limited motherboard SATA headers when more drives are required. It delivers up to 6.0 Gbps per port and remains compatible with 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps devices. The jump is worth it when the board lacks free ports or cannot run drives at SATA 3.0 speeds.

Build Integration

Installation needs one free PCI-Express x1 slot and works with v1.0 or v2.0 links. AHCI 1.0 and IDE modes are supported for broad OS compatibility. Hot-swap and plug-and-play operation free up time during drive changes, while backward compatibility keeps older drives usable.

Questions about this item

Will the x1 card fit in my x4 or x16 PCIe slot?

Yes, the card uses a PCIe x1 edge connector that is electrically compatible with x4, x8 and x16 slots and conforms to PCIe v2.0 while remaining backward compatible with v1.0.

Do I need to load a driver before the two SATA ports appear in Windows 10?

Windows 10 includes native AHCI support, so the card is recognised on first boot; the driver is only required if you switch the controller to IDE mode in the BIOS.

How often should I replace the SATA data cables connected to this card?

SATA 3.0 cables rated for 6.0 Gbps should be inspected annually and replaced if the locking clip is damaged or if intermittent link errors appear in the system log.
