  • ASMedia ASM1064 and JMB575 chips improve heat dissipation and stability
  • Fits PCIe x1 slot and works in x4, x8, x16 slots
  • Supports Windows 8, Windows 10 and Linux with plug-and-play setup
  • Includes 8 SATA cables and a 15-pin SATA power splitter cable

Eight-port SATA expansion

This PCIe add-in card adds eight SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports to a desktop or server. It fits any PCI Express x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and includes a low-profile bracket for slim chassis. The package supplies eight SATA data cables and a 15-pin SATA power splitter cable. Drivers are built into Windows 8, Windows 10 and Linux for plug-and-play operation.

Capacity and headroom

Each of the eight ports runs at the full SATA 3.0 6Gbps rate, so eight mechanical drives or SATA SSDs can operate simultaneously without sharing bandwidth. The single PCIe 3.0 x1 link caps aggregate throughput at roughly one lane’s worth of data, so sustained copies from all drives at once will hit that ceiling. For arrays that need more combined bandwidth, a card with a wider PCIe link would be required.

Deciding specification

The controller uses an ASMedia ASM1064 plus JMB575 bridge, which determines compatibility with your motherboard’s PCIe generation and the operating system’s in-box driver support. Verify that your system provides a free PCI Express slot (not legacy PCI) and that the OS version matches the supported list before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 8-port SATA 3.0 card work in my older motherboard that only has PCIe 2.0 slots?

The card fits PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots and runs at PCIe 3.0 speeds; it will operate in a 2.0 slot at the lower bandwidth.

How can I verify each of the eight ports is running at 6 Gbps after installation?

Check the drive link speed in your OS disk utility or BIOS — each connected SATA 3.0 device should report a 6 Gbps negotiation.

Do I need to buy any cables or power adapters separately to use all eight ports?

The box includes eight SATA data cables and a 15-pin SATA power splitter cable, so no extra cables are required.
