SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK PCIe 1x to 4-Port SATA 3.0 Adapter with Heatsink & Low-Profile Bracket

SKU CH-461D-1WBKD

Adds four SATA 3.0 ports via a single PCIe 1x slot with a heatsink and low-profile bracket for compact systems

  • Adds four SATA 3.0 ports from one PCIe slot
  • Heatsink keeps controller cool during heavy multi-drive workloads
  • Low-profile bracket fits slim PCs and mini-servers
  • Works with 2.5 and 3.5 SATA HDDs SSDs and optical drives
  • Plug-and-play across OS for NAS surveillance and home upgrades

SMUGDESK PCIe 1x SATA Expansion

This SMUGDESK adapter expands a single PCIe 1x slot into four independent SATA 3.0 ports. It enables simultaneous connection of multiple drives for storage expansion. The card suits home NAS builds, surveillance recorders and compact PC upgrades where internal drive bays are limited.

Four SATA 3.0 ports at 6 Gbps

Each port delivers up to 6 Gbps bandwidth shared through the single PCIe 1x link. The card comfortably handles 2.5 and 3.5 inch HDDs, SSDs and optical drives for bulk storage. Throughput will saturate when several high-speed SSDs operate simultaneously on the single upstream lane.

Heatsink and low-profile bracket included

A built-in heatsink improves heat dissipation during sustained multi-drive workloads. The supplied low-profile bracket allows installation in slim PCs, mini-servers and small-form-factor chassis. No extra mounting hardware or active cooling is required for typical operation.
