Six-port SATA 3.0 expansion

This PCIe add-in card adds six SATA 3.0 ports to a desktop system using a single x4 lane slot. It targets builders who need more internal drive connections than the motherboard provides. The ASM1166 controller handles all six ports simultaneously at up to 6 Gbps each. It is not for users who require hardware RAID or boot-time array management.

Cables, bracket and power splitter included

Six SATA 3.0 data cables come in the box so every port can be used immediately. A low-profile bracket allows installation in slim chassis without blocking adjacent slots. A SATA power splitter cable helps feed multiple drives from one PSU connector. No driver disc or management software is bundled; the card relies on native OS support.

Heatsink-equipped PCB for sustained loads

An integrated heatsink covers the ASM1166 chip to maintain stability during prolonged multi-drive transfers. The x4 edge connector fits x4, x8 or x16 PCIe slots without adapters. Standard-height and low-profile brackets give flexibility for tower or small-form-factor cases. The card draws power solely from the slot and the external splitter.

Questions about this item

Will the ASM1166 chip or its heatsink need replacement after long use?

The card uses an ASM1166 chip with a fitted heatsink for high-temperature resistance; no user-serviceable parts are mentioned.

What throughput ceiling appears first when all six SATA 3.0 ports run continuously?

Each port tops out at 6 Gbps and the PCIe 4x host link caps aggregate bandwidth at the same 6 Gbps per lane.

How much heat or fan noise does the card add when drives spin all day?

A passive heatsink cools the ASM1166 chip; the card has no fan so it adds no audible noise.
