Two SATA 6.0 Gbps ports on Mini PCI-Express

The Syba SD-MPE40056 adds two internal SATA 3.0 ports through a single-lane Mini PCI-Express 2.0 slot. It uses the ASMedia ASM1061 controller to deliver 6.0 Gbps data transfer rates per port. The card fits systems with an available Mini PCI-Express 2.0 connector. A driver CD and manual are included.

Suits older Windows PCs needing extra SATA ports

This card works with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Server 2003 through 2008 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. It is not for machines that lack a Mini PCI-Express 2.0 slot or that run newer operating systems without confirmed driver support. Builders who need RAID functionality or more than two ports should look at other solutions.

Check for a free Mini PCI-Express 2.0 slot

Verify that the motherboard or chassis provides an open Mini PCI-Express 2.0 lane with 2.5 or 5.0 Gbps link speed. Confirm the installed operating system matches the supported Windows or Server releases listed. Ensure two internal SATA power and data cables are available for the drives you plan to connect.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a free Mini PCI-Express 2.0 slot for this SD-MPE40056 card?

Yes, the card uses a 1-lane Mini PCI-Express 2.0 interface that runs at 2.5 or 5.0 Gbps, so an available slot of that type is required.

Will the ASM1061 controller on this card work with SATA 3.0 drives I already own?

The ASM1061 chipset supports SATA 3.0 at 6.0 Gbps and is backward compatible with older SATA drives, so existing drives will function at their rated speeds.

How can I confirm the card is running at the full 6.0 Gbps link speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link speed in Device Manager or the BIOS; it should report 6.0 Gbps for each connected SATA 3.0 drive when the ASM1061 controller is operating correctly.
