Hybrid PCI Storage Adapter

This PCI expansion card adds internal SATA and 40Pin IDE connectors alongside an external powered eSATA and USB combination port. It targets owners of older desktop systems who need to connect mixed-generation drives through a single legacy slot.

Capacity and Headroom

The powered eSATA port supplies 5V and 12V to run 2.5 and 3.5-inch external hard disks without a separate adapter. Internal SATA and IDE headers support legacy mechanical drives and modern SATA SSDs, but the single PCI bus limits total throughput for simultaneous heavy transfers.

Thermals Noise and Power

The card draws power directly from the PCI slot and has no active cooling, so it runs silently in normal office and backup workloads. External drive spin-up current is provided by the onboard eSATA power circuitry rather than the system supply.

Questions about this item

Will the card fit into a standard PCI slot on an older motherboard?

Yes, the card uses a standard PCI interface that fits common PCI slots on older desktop motherboards.

How can I confirm the powered eSATA port is delivering 5V and 12V to an external drive?

Connect a 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive to the eSATA port; if it spins up and appears in the OS without an extra power adapter, the port is supplying power.

Does the box include cables for the internal SATA and 40Pin IDE connectors?

The card provides the SATA and 40Pin IDE interfaces; cables for those internal connections are not included and must be sourced separately.
