  • Adds two SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports via one PCIe x1 slot
  • Bootable system drive support for OS installation on connected SSD or HDD
  • Works with 2.5 and 3.5 SATA SSDs HDDs and optical drives
  • Compact PCIe x1 form factor with standard bracket fits desktop chassis
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with Windows and Linux for stable daily use

PCIe x1 to dual SATA 3.0 adapter

This internal expansion card fits a single PCIe x1 slot and delivers two independent SATA 3.0 ports for connecting 2.5 or 3.5 SSDs, HDDs and optical drives. It supports bootable system drives so an operating system can be installed directly on an attached drive. The compact bracket design suits standard desktop chassis.

Suits desktops needing extra SATA ports

Ideal for older PCs lacking native SATA headers or for multi-drive upgrades where additional 6 Gbps connections are required. Builders who need more than two SATA devices or a different interface should consider other solutions. Plug-and-play operation works with Windows and Linux without extra drivers.

Two SATA 3.0 ports from one PCIe x1 slot

The card provides exactly two 6 Gbps SATA connections, enabling a pair of drives to run simultaneously. Boot support allows the OS to reside on either connected drive. No other port count or interface is offered by this adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a 2.5 or 3.5 SATA drive for this two-port card?

Both 2.5 and 3.5 SATA SSDs and HDDs are supported, so pick the form factor that fits your case and storage needs.

What does the SATA 3.0 6Gbps rating deliver inside my desktop?

Each port runs at up to 6 Gbps, giving near-native throughput for modern SSDs and hard drives connected through the PCIe x1 slot.

Does the PCIe x1 interface limit the two SATA 3.0 ports in practice?

The single PCIe x1 lane shares bandwidth between both ports, so simultaneous heavy transfers on both drives will be capped by that link.
