  • 6 Gbps transfer speed per port
  • Software RAID support across Windows, Linux, Synology, Ubuntu
  • Includes full-profile and low-profile brackets

8-Port SATA Expansion Card

This PCIe x4 controller adds eight SATA 3.0 ports using the ASMedia ASM1166 chipset. It is designed for builders who need to connect multiple hard drives, SSDs or optical drives to a single slot. The card ships with both full-height and low-profile brackets for flexible case mounting.

Passive Cooling and Low Power Draw

The ASM1166 chipset runs without an active fan, relying on case airflow for heat dissipation. Power is drawn directly from the PCIe slot, so no external connectors are required. A blue LED stays solid when a drive is detected and flashes during read or write activity.

No Hardware RAID Support

This controller operates in non-RAID and software RAID modes only; it cannot present a hardware RAID volume to the operating system. Buyers who need a dedicated hardware RAID engine with onboard cache should select a different card.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda 8 Port SATA PCIe Card and which bracket should I use?

Insert the card into an available PCIe x4 slot, then attach either the full-profile or low-profile bracket to match your case height before securing the screw.

What maintenance will the ASMedia ASM1166 controller need over time?

The controller has no moving parts; keep the slot and SATA connectors dust-free and ensure case airflow reaches the card for continued stable operation.

What limit appears first when all ports run sustained transfers at 6 Gbps?

The PCIe x4 host link caps total throughput, so aggregate bandwidth across all ports cannot exceed the upstream lane capacity.
