LSI 6-Port SATA 3.0 PCIe x4 Controller Card

SKU CH-WN7N-88QPY

Adds six SATA 3.0 ports through a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot using the ASM1166 chip for software RAID arrays

  • Add six 6Gbps SATA ports through a PCIe x4 slot
  • ASMedia ASM1166 chip enables port multiplication switching
  • Software RAID and storage pools supported in Windows
  • Works with PCIe 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 motherboard slots
  • Ships with six SATA cables and a 15-pin power splitter

6-Port SATA 3.0 Expansion Card

This PCIe x4 controller adds six SATA III 6Gbps ports to a desktop or server. It is built around the ASMedia ASM1166 chip and supports software RAID or storage-pool configurations under Windows and Linux. Hardware RAID is not supported.

Before ordering check your motherboard

Verify that a free PCI-Express x4, x8 or x16 slot is available. The card is compatible with PCIe 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0 slots; maximum throughput reaches 500-550 MB/s on PCIe 3.0, 380-450 MB/s on PCIe 2.0 and 200-300 MB/s on PCIe 1.0. Confirm your operating system is among the supported Windows 7, 8, 10, XP, Server 2003, 2008 or Linux releases.

Build integration

The half-height bracket fits low-profile chassis. Six SATA data cables and a 15-pin SATA power splitter (one to four) are included, so each drive receives power without extra adapters. The x4 interface leaves larger slots open for other expansion cards.
