Six SATA 3.0 ports on a PCIe x1 slot

This Vszerda expansion card adds six SATA 3.0 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot using the ASMedia ASM1166 controller. It suits builders who need more drive connections for storage arrays or extra hard drives. The card works with Windows, Linux and macOS systems.

Low-profile bracket and large heatsink

A low-profile bracket is included for slim chassis and the board carries a single large heatsink over the controller. Six rear-facing SATA 3.0 ports keep cables tidy and support hot-swap operation. The PCIe 2.0 x1 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 1.x and fits x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 slots.

Check slot length and operating-system version

Verify your motherboard has a free PCIe slot that can accept a card of this length. The driver supports Windows XP through 10 and Server 2003 or 2008, macOS, and Linux kernel 2.6.x or newer. SATA drives must be 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps or 1.5 Gbps models.

Questions about this item

Does the PCIe 2.0 x1 link limit the 6 Gbps SATA ports?

The card uses a PCIe 2.0 x1 connection, so the aggregate bandwidth is 5 Gbps; all six SATA 3.0 ports share that ceiling.

Will the card fit in a low-profile chassis?

A low-profile bracket is included, allowing the card to mount in slim cases as well as standard-height slots.

How do I install the card and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into any PCIe x1 or wider slot, attach SATA data cables to the six rear ports, then install the ASM1166 driver so the operating system recognises all drives.
