SMUGDESK 4 Port SATA 3.0 PCIe x1 Gen3 ASM1064 Hard Drive Adapter

Adds four SATA 3.0 ports via a single PCIe x1 Gen3

This card uses the ASMedia ASM1064 controller to turn one PCIe lane into four independent SATA connections. Each port delivers up to 6 Gbps bandwidth for hard drives or solid-state drives. No driver installation is required on common desktop and server operating systems. The compact bracket fits standard low-profile and full-height cases.

Suits builders adding multiple SATA drives

Users who require more than four ports, a different host interface or external connectors will not find those features here. The x1 link limits aggregate throughput to the bandwidth of a single Gen3 lane. Systems without a free PCIe slot cannot use this adapter.

ASMedia ASM1064 controller with four SATA 3.0 ports

The ASM1064 chip provides native four-port SATA 3.0 operation without port multipliers. Each device connects directly to the controller for consistent performance. This specification determines whether the card matches the required port count and interface speed.
