Six SATA 3.0 ports via PCIe 4x

This EN-Labs controller adds six SATA 3.0 ports through a single PCIe 4x slot using the ASMedia ASM1166 chipset. It delivers up to 6.0 Gbps per port and includes both full-profile and low-profile brackets for different chassis. The card operates without hardware RAID and relies on the operating system for array management.

Builders expanding internal storage without RAID

The card suits users who need extra SATA connections for hard disks, SSDs or optical drives and are comfortable with software RAID or JBOD configurations. It is not for buyers who require a dedicated hardware RAID engine with onboard cache or battery backup. Systems lacking a PCIe 4x, 8x or 16x slot cannot use this adapter.

No hardware RAID support

The single specification that decides fit is the absence of a hardware RAID controller; the ASM1166 provides only host-bus adapter functionality. All RAID levels must be created and managed in software by Windows 10, Windows 8, Linux, Ubuntu or Synology DSM. If your workflow demands hardware RAID, this is not the correct part.

Questions about this item

Does the EN-Labs PCIE4X6SATA include both full-profile and low-profile brackets?

Yes, the card ships with both a full-profile bracket and a low-profile bracket so it fits either standard or slim PC cases.

Which PCIe lane width should I use for six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports?

The controller uses a PCIe 4x interface; plugging it into an 8x or 16x slot works but only four lanes are active.

Will I see 6.0 Gbps transfer rates on every connected drive?

Each SATA port supports up to 6.0 Gbps, but the four-lane PCIe 3.0 link caps total throughput at roughly 4 GB/s shared across all six drives.
