SMUGDESK 6 Port SATA3 PCIe Expansion Card

SKU CH-JW5G-CKJ88

A PCIe x1 card adds six SATA ports running at 6Gbps each for large storage arrays

  • Adds six SATA3 ports from one PCIe x1 slot
  • Each port delivers up to 6Gbps transfer speed
  • Works in x1, x4, x8 or x16 motherboard slots
  • Supports hot-swap and large-capacity drives for NAS
  • Compatible with Windows and Linux for mining and storage

Six-port SATA3 PCIe x1 expansion card

This adapter plugs into a single PCIe x1 slot and adds six independent SATA3 ports, each capable of 6Gbps throughput. It is built for continuous operation with large-capacity hard disks and solid-state drives, making it suitable for Chia plotting farms, DIY NAS builds and bulk storage servers. The card works with Windows and Linux without additional configuration.

Home lab builders and Chia farmers adding many

The card suits anyone who needs to connect six SATA drives to a spare PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and values hot-swap support for drive maintenance. It is not for systems that lack a free PCIe slot or for users who require on-board RAID processing or a bootable option ROM.

Single PCIe x1 lane feeds six SATA3 ports

Bandwidth is limited to the PCIe x1 link, so simultaneous full-speed transfers on all six ports will saturate the host interface. This is the key specification to check against your workload before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the SMUGDESK 6 Port SATA3 PCIe Expansion Card work in my older PCIe x4 or x16 motherboard slot?

Yes, the PCIe x1 interface is compatible with x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots so you can install it alongside existing cards without needing a specific x1 slot.

How can I verify the card is running at full SATA 6Gbps speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in your operating system disk utility or BIOS; each of the six ports should report 6Gbps when a SATA3 drive is connected.

Does the package include SATA data cables for the six ports or must I buy them separately?

The card provides six SATA3 ports; SATA data cables are not included and must be purchased separately for each drive you connect.
