RIITOP NVME M-Key to SATA 3.0 6-Port Adapter 2280 with 6 Cables

SKU CH-EPWZ-FRBS8

Converts an M.2 M-key slot into six SATA 3.0 ports with included cables for adding multiple drives

  • Expands storage with six SATA 3.0 ports from one M.2 M-key slot
  • ASMedia ASM1166 chip delivers 6 Gbps per port for high-speed data transfers
  • Individual LED indicators show drive presence and activity at a glance
  • Aluminium heat sink keeps temperatures stable during heavy workloads
  • Plug-and-play across Windows, Linux and VMware ESXi without driver installation

M.2 M-Key to six SATA 3.0 ports

This adapter converts a single M.2 M-key slot into six SATA 3.0 connectors, allowing you to attach up to six SSDs or hard drives simultaneously. It targets desktop builders who need extra internal storage without occupying additional PCIe slots. The board uses an ASMedia ASM1166 controller and includes six SATA cables, a screwdriver and mounting screws in the box.

Six drives at 6 Gbps each with 16 Gbps aggregate

Each port delivers up to 6 Gbps, giving a theoretical combined bandwidth of 16 Gbps across all six connections. The design supports AHCI boot and port multiplier operation in non-RAID mode, but RAID arrays and hot-swap functionality are not available. Performance will scale with the host M.2 link width, so very heavy multi-drive workloads may saturate the upstream interface.

Aluminium heatsink and per-port activity LEDs

An integrated aluminium heatsink helps maintain stable temperatures during sustained transfers, while individual LEDs show presence and read/write activity for each drive. Over-current, over-voltage and short-circuit protection circuits guard connected devices. The card requires no driver installation on supported Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and VMware ESXi releases.

Questions about this item

Will the 2280 adapter card fit in the same M.2 M-Key slot that currently holds my NVME boot drive?

The card plugs into an M.2 M-Key slot and converts it to six SATA 3.0 ports, so the slot used for the adapter can no longer host the NVME boot drive.

How do I confirm each of the six SATA 3.0 ports is active after I connect my drives?

Each port has an individual LED that stays on when a drive is detected and flashes during read or write activity.

Does the package include the six SATA 3.0 cables and mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?

Six SATA III cables, a screwdriver and screws are all included in the box.
