PCI Adapter for 4-Channel SATA Connectivity

This PCI bracket adapter adds four external SATA ports through a single multilane connector. It suits builders who need to connect external JBOD enclosures or RAID arrays to a desktop or server. The card fits a standard PCI slot and works with both PC and Mac G4 or G5 systems. No driver installation is mentioned in the supplied data.

Orange Bracket with LED Activity Indicators

The orange bracket measures 2.58 by 1.34 inches and provides four 7-pin SATA connectors. Each channel has its own external LED activity indicator for quick status checks. The multilane interface uses an InfiniBand 4x connector compatible with 3Ware 8506 series RAID HBAs and similar cards. Build quality targets industrial-grade external cabling.

Upgrade from Internal-Only SATA Ports

This adapter replaces a limited set of internal SATA ports with four external connections running at up to 3Gb/s. The jump is worthwhile when you must move drives outside the chassis for hot-swap bays or multi-bay enclosures. It does not serve builders who need more than four channels or faster 6Gb/s SATA III throughput.
