Four-port PCI SATA RAID card

This SMUGDESK controller converts a single PCI slot into four internal SATA ports for connecting multiple hard drives or SSDs. It includes integrated RAID functionality to support basic disk array modes for data backup or improved read-write performance. The card is designed for desktop storage expansion and comes with two SATA cables included.

Simple PCI installation with RAID setup

The card plugs directly into a standard desktop PCI slot and uses a plug-and-play design compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems. Driver installation is typically required to access the RAID configuration utility and manage array creation. The two provided cables connect the controller ports directly to SATA drives for a straightforward internal setup.

Verify legacy PCI slot and drive count

Before ordering, confirm your motherboard has an available standard PCI slot, as this card does not fit PCI Express or PCI-X slots. Check that your power supply has sufficient SATA power connectors for the number of drives you intend to install. Note that only two SATA data cables are included, so additional cables are needed for a four-drive array.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the RAID controller is functioning correctly after installing it in my PCI slot?

After installation, the card should appear in the system BIOS or device manager as a SATA controller, and any connected drives will be visible for array configuration.

What cables and accessories are included, and what must I provide separately?

The package includes the controller card and two SATA data cables; you will need to supply additional SATA cables for the remaining two ports and SATA power cables from your PSU for each drive.

Which version of this card should I choose for a desktop with only legacy PCI slots?

This card is designed for standard PCI slots, making it the correct choice for older desktops that do not have PCIe slots available.
