SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 6 Port PCIE X1 to SATA 3.0 Controller Card

SKU CH-RD01-1R74H

Adds six SATA 3.0 ports through one PCIE X1 slot for Chia mining and mass storage arrays

  • Converts one PCIe X1 slot into 6 independent SATA 3.0 ports with 6Gbps bandwidth
  • Optimised for Chia plotting, mining rigs and multi-drive NAS storage expansion
  • Supports standard SATA HDDs, SSDs and optical drives for large-capacity arrays
  • Fits PCIe X1, X4, X8 and X16 slots on most desktop and mining motherboards
  • Plug-and-play operation on Windows and Linux with stable continuous-run performance

Six SATA 3.0 ports from one PCIE X1 slot

This controller card converts a single PCIE X1 slot into six independent SATA 3.0 ports running at 6Gbps. It is built for Chia plotting, mining rigs, NAS builds and mass storage arrays that need many drives connected at once. The card fits PCIE X1, X4, X8 or X16 slots on most desktop and mining motherboards.

Sustained throughput for plotting and RAID

The card is designed for continuous operation during long plotting sessions and multi-drive workloads. It maintains stable 6Gbps bandwidth across all six ports without throttling under extended load. Windows and Linux both recognise the adapter without extra drivers for reliable long-term uptime.

Check slot spacing and power for six drives

Verify your motherboard has a free PCIE slot with enough physical clearance for the card bracket and six SATA cables. Confirm your power supply can deliver sufficient current for every attached drive simultaneously. Systems needing boot support from these ports should check BIOS compatibility before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 6-port SATA 3.0 controller card add noticeable heat or power draw when running all day in a Chia plotting rig?

The card uses a single PCIE X1 slot and draws minimal power, so it adds very little heat during continuous plotting or mining workloads.

What motherboard slot and operating system do I already need for this 6-port SATA 3.0 card to work?

You need a free PCIE X1, X4, X8 or X16 slot and a system running Windows or Linux for plug-and-play operation.

Will the 6Gbps SATA 3.0 ports on this card bottleneck older mechanical hard drives I want to keep using?

The ports run at SATA 3.0 6Gbps, so older SATA drives will operate at their own native speed without being limited by the controller.
