SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 6Port PCIE X1 to SATA 3.0 Controller Card 16

SKU CH-8MZ8-4YB0S

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

  • Expands one slot into six SATA 3.0 ports for massive storage
  • Delivers 6Gbps bandwidth per port for fast drive performance
  • Built for Chia mining and plotting with stable multi-drive operation
  • Fits PCIE X1 through X16 slots across desktop and mining boards
  • Works with Windows and Linux out of the box for quick setup

Six SATA 3.0 ports from one PCIe x1 slot

This controller card turns a single PCIe x1 slot into six independent SATA 3.0 ports running at 6Gbps each. It is designed for users who need to attach many drives at once, such as Chia plotting rigs, mining systems or large desktop storage arrays. The card works with standard hard drives, SSDs and optical drives.

Plug-and-play across Windows and Linux

No extra drivers are required for current Windows or Linux distributions, so the six ports appear immediately after installation. This reduces setup time when deploying multi-disk arrays for plotting or bulk storage. The card also accepts PCIe x4, x8 and x16 slots, giving flexibility across different motherboard layouts.

Check slot height and power cables before ordering

The bracket occupies one rear slot; verify your chassis has the matching opening and enough vertical clearance for the card height. You will need six SATA data cables and enough SATA power connectors from your power supply to feed every attached drive.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the PCIe x1 to SATA 3.0 card need later?

The card has no moving parts or onboard batteries; under normal desktop use it requires no scheduled maintenance beyond occasional dust removal from the gold fingers.

What limit shows up first when all six SATA 3.0 ports run sustained workloads?

The single PCIe x1 host link caps aggregate throughput at the lane's maximum, so total bandwidth across six drives cannot exceed that ceiling.

How much noise, heat or power does the controller add when running all day?

Passive design means zero fan noise; power draw stays low and heat output is modest, relying on normal case airflow to keep the PCB at safe temperatures.
