Six-Port SATA Host Card

The Vantec UGT-ST310R is a PCI expansion card that adds six SATA connections to a desktop system. It uses a Silicon Image Sil3114 controller compliant with the PCI 2.3 specification at 32-bit, 33/66MHz. The card provides four internal SATA ports and two external eSATA ports for drive connectivity.

Builders with legacy PCI slots

This card suits owners of older motherboards that only offer conventional PCI slots and need to attach multiple SATA drives. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 0+1, JBOD and individual modes for storage flexibility. Builders whose systems already provide native SATA ports or PCI Express slots should look at alternative host adapters.

SATA 1.0 at 150MBps bandwidth

The controller follows the Serial ATA 1.0 specification with a maximum transfer rate of 150MBps per port. This bandwidth limits the throughput of modern solid-state drives and high-capacity mechanical disks. Buyers who need the faster speeds of later SATA revisions must choose a different controller.

Questions about this item

How many drives can the Sil3114 controller address at once?

The Sil3114 controller provides 4 independent channels, so it can address up to 4 Serial ATA devices simultaneously.

How much power does the card draw from the PCI slot under full load?

The card plugs into a standard 32-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI slot and draws its operating power directly from that slot.

Which drive connectors must already be present in the chassis?

You need four internal SATA data cables for the onboard ports and two eSATA cables plus a bracket cut-out for the external ports.
