Vszerda PCIe 1x SATA Card 8 Ports

This PCIe expansion card adds eight SATA 3.0 ports to a desktop system using a single PCIe x1 slot. It targets builders who need to connect multiple hard drives or solid-state drives for bulk storage or backup arrays.

Practical limits of the PCIe 1x

The card uses a PCIe 1x connection which restricts total throughput to the bandwidth of that single lane. Eight drives sharing the link cannot each sustain the full 6 Gbps SATA 3.0 rate simultaneously during heavy concurrent transfers.

Replaces motherboards

The jump is worthwhile when the board lacks enough native ports for the planned drive count and a hardware RAID controller is not required. It does not suit users who need hardware RAID functionality or more than eight SATA connections.

Questions about this item

Which version of the Vszerda SATA card should I choose if I only have a PCIe x1 slot available?

The card fits PCIe x1, x4, x8 and x16 slots, so it will work in your x1 slot using the included low-profile bracket.

What does the 6 Gbps headline speed mean once the card is installed in my system?

Each of the eight SATA 3.0 ports can transfer up to 6 Gbps, but the single PCIe 1x lane limits total throughput to roughly 5 Gbps shared across all drives.

Does the ASM1064 plus JMB575 chipset support hardware RAID on this card?

No, the manufacturer states the card does not support hardware RAID; it provides eight independent SATA 3.0 ports for JBOD or software RAID configurations.
