Six-port SATA expansion card
This BESIGN PCIe 3.0 card adds six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports through a single x4 lane slot using the ASM1166 controller. It fits desktop PCs with a free PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot and works with Windows XP through 10 plus Linux without extra drivers. Six cables are included for immediate drive installation.
Upgrade from onboard SATA limits
The card replaces a motherboard's native SATA ports when more drives are needed than the board provides. It is worth the jump when a build requires six additional hard drives or SSDs and the platform still has a spare PCIe 3.0 lane available. Boards lacking any free PCIe slot cannot use this adapter.
PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth ceiling
The x4 interface caps aggregate throughput at the PCIe 3.0 lane rate, so six drives running at 6.0 Gbps each will saturate the link during heavy simultaneous transfers. SATA 3.0, 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps devices all negotiate down automatically. Hot-swap is supported, but the host OS must manage drive removal safely.
