PCIe x1 to six SATA 3.0 ports

This controller card expands a single PCIe x1 slot into six independent SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports. It enables connection of multiple 2.5 and 3.5 hard drives, SSDs and optical drives. The card provides high-speed bandwidth for multi-drive storage expansion in desktop systems.

Suits Windows NAS and media builds

The card is optimised for Windows with plug-and-play driver support and stable long-term operation. Its low-profile bracket fits standard desktops, mini PCs and small server chassis. Builders needing more than six drives or a different host interface should consider other options.

Six SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports from one x1 slot

The single specification that decides fit is the provision of six SATA 3.0 ports via one PCIe x1 connection. Verify your motherboard has a free x1 slot and that your drives use the SATA interface.

Questions about this item

Does the card come with SATA cables for the six ports or do I buy them separately?

The card provides six SATA 3.0 ports; SATA data cables for your 2.5 or 3.5 drives are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is the standard bracket or the low-profile bracket the right one for my small server chassis?

The card ships with a standard low-profile bracket that fits desktops, mini PCs and small server chassis without needing an extra bracket.

Will I actually reach 6 Gbps on every drive when all six ports are busy?

Each port runs at SATA 3.0 6 Gbps, but the single PCIe x1 link limits combined throughput, so sustained speeds drop when multiple drives are active.
