Six-port SATA III expansion

The RIITOP PCETS6G-6PBK adds six SATA 6 Gbps ports through a single PCI Express x4 slot. It uses the ASMedia ASM1166 chipset and supports Port Multiplier command-based switching. The card is compliant with SATA 3.0 and backward compatible with SATA I/II drives. A low-profile bracket is included for small-form-factor builds.

Thermals noise and power

The card draws power only from the PCIe slot and has no active cooling. Passive operation keeps noise at zero during normal use. Power consumption remains low because the ASM1166 controller handles six ports natively without a bridge. No external power connector is required.

Upgrade path and fit

This card replaces a motherboard with insufficient SATA ports for extra hard drives or SSDs. It is not compatible with PCIe x1 slots and cannot boot an operating system drive. The jump is worth it when you need more than the native ports provide for secondary storage arrays.

Questions about this item

How do I install this card in a low-profile case and which slot mistake should I avoid?

Fit the included half-height bracket, insert the card into any PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot, and secure it; do not use a PCIe x1 slot because the ASM1166 controller requires four lanes.

What ongoing maintenance will the six SATA ports and the ASM1166 chipset need?

No scheduled maintenance is required; keep the card dust-free and ensure the SATA cables stay firmly seated, as the chipset has no user-serviceable parts.

What throughput limit appears first when all six SATA 3.0 drives run sustained transfers?

The PCIe 3.0 x4 host link caps aggregate bandwidth at roughly 4 GB/s, so simultaneous heavy traffic on all six 6 Gbps ports will hit that ceiling before the individual SATA links saturate.
