Two-port SATA expansion

This StarTech.com card adds two internal SATA connections through a single PCI Express slot. It suits system builders who need extra drive ports for hard disks or solid-state drives on a desktop or server board. The board works with Windows from XP through 11, plus Linux 2.6.32 and macOS 10.6.8 and later.

Upgrade from onboard limits

The card is useful when the motherboard SATA headers are full or when a legacy board lacks 6 Gbps support. It also helps if a chassis layout blocks the native ports. The jump is worth it whenever additional internal drives must be connected without replacing the mainboard.

Sustained transfer behaviour

Each port runs at the SATA 6 Gbps link rate, so sequential throughput scales with the attached drive rather than the adapter. Under continuous read or write loads the card maintains the link speed without thermal throttling, because the low-profile design draws minimal power and requires no active cooling.

Questions about this item

Will the 4.80" x 2.70" card fit in a low-profile chassis?

The box includes both a full-profile bracket and a low-profile bracket; swap the installed bracket for the low-profile one to fit slim cases.

Which PCI Express slot does the 2P6G-PCIE-SATA-CARD need for installation?

Insert the card into any free PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot; the driver loads automatically on Windows 7 through 11, Linux 2.6.32+ and macOS 10.6.8+.

Do the two SATA ports need periodic firmware updates or port replacement?

The card has no field-updatable firmware and no moving parts; the SATA connectors are rated for the life of the board under normal use.
