Green PCB expansion card with silver heat sink and four red SATA ports

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 4Port PCIE to SATA 3.0 Expansion Card with Heat Sink

SKU CH-6C9Q-JYYV7

Adds four SATA 3.0 ports via one PCIE slot with a built-in heat sink for stable multi-drive operation

  • Adds four SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports from one PCIE slot
  • Built-in heat sink keeps drives cool during long heavy loads
  • Works in PCIE X1 X4 X8 X16 slots for broad motherboard fit
  • Supports 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA SSDs HDDs and optical drives
  • Plug and play on Windows and Linux for quick setup

Four independent SATA 3.0 ports from one PCIe slot

This expansion card converts a single PCIe slot into four SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports, letting you attach multiple 2.5 or 3.5 SSDs, HDDs or optical drives. An integrated heat sink keeps the controller cool during continuous heavy workloads. The plug-and-play design works with Windows and Linux without extra drivers.

Suited for storage-heavy builds.

Administrators running IPFS nodes, multi-disk NAS arrays or mining-oriented storage farms will value the four concurrent ports and sustained thermal performance. Builders who only need one extra SATA connection or who lack a spare PCIe slot should consider a simpler adapter or onboard headers instead.

PCIe slot compatibility covers x1 through x16

The card fits any standard PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot, so it installs in desktops, workstations or servers regardless of slot length. This flexibility decides whether the card can be used in your specific chassis and motherboard layout.

Questions about this item

What does the 6Gbps SATA 3.0 rating mean once the card is installed?

Each of the four ports can transfer data at up to 6Gbps, so four SATA SSDs or HDDs run at full SATA III speed simultaneously.

Which PCI Express slot types does the card work with and what bandwidth limit applies?

It fits x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots; the host slot width sets the maximum aggregate throughput for all four ports combined.

What drive sizes and mounting clearances does the card support?

Standard 2.5" and 3.5" SATA SSDs, HDDs and optical drives connect directly; the low-profile board and included heat sink fit typical desktop and server chassis.
