SMUGDESK PCI SATA 3.0 4-Port RAID Card 3114

SKU CH-KXE2-C1W86

Adds four SATA 3.0 ports with RAID 0, 1, 10 to older PCs via a standard PCI slot

Model number 3112 2 ports SATA

  • Adds four SATA 3.0 ports for multiple drives
  • Hardware RAID 0, 1, 10 protects data or boosts speed
  • PCI slot fits older motherboards and industrial servers
  • Works with SATA 1.0 and 2.0 drives automatically
  • Metal bracket and stable circuit built for 24-hour operation

Four SATA 3.0 ports on legacy PCI

This controller card adds four independent SATA 3.0 connectors through a standard PCI slot using a Silicon Image 3114 chip. It targets owners of older desktop motherboards, industrial PCs or entry-level servers that lack enough onboard SATA ports for additional drives. The card supports mechanical hard disks, 2.5-inch SSDs and optical drives.

Suits RAID arrays on PCI-only systems

It fits builders who need hardware RAID 0, 1 or 10 on a platform that only provides legacy PCI expansion slots. The card is not for systems without a free PCI slot, nor for users who require more than four SATA connections or external drive connectivity.

PCI bus limits peak throughput

The traditional PCI interface caps total bandwidth well below the combined maximum of four SATA 3.0 links, so sustained transfer rates will be constrained by the bus rather than the drives.

Questions about this item

Does the SI3114 chip run hot or draw much power during 24-hour operation?

The compact PCB and full-height metal baffle provide anti-interference stability for continuous 24-hour server use, with no active cooling required.

What operating system and driver setup is needed to use the four SATA 3.0 ports?

Windows mainstream systems require driver installation before the four independent SATA 3.0 connectors become operational.

Can I pair this PCI card with my existing SATA 1.0 and 2.0 hard disks?

Yes, the controller is backward compatible with SATA 1.0 and 2.0 drives, so older mechanical disks and SSDs work alongside newer SATA 3.0 devices.
