Four SATA 3.0 ports from one slot
A PCI Express expansion card adds four SATA 3.0 ports running at 6Gbps to a desktop, NAS or mining rig. The board fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and works with Windows and Linux without extra drivers. A fitted heat sink keeps the controller cool during continuous multi-drive workloads. Ideal for users who need to connect several hard drives or SSDs at once.
Suits storage upgrades and multi-drive arrays
Builders expanding a home NAS, adding bulk storage to a workstation or populating a mining rig with multiple drives will find the four ports convenient. The card supports standard SATA hard drives, SSDs and optical drives for straightforward capacity growth. Systems limited to a single PCIe lane still receive full 6Gbps bandwidth per port. Buyers who need more than four SATA connections should look elsewhere.
6Gbps per port decides drive performance
Each of the four ports delivers SATA 3.0 6Gbps throughput, setting the maximum transfer rate for every attached drive. The PCIe host link and the onboard controller maintain this speed across all ports simultaneously. Match your drives to this 6Gbps ceiling to avoid a bottleneck.

Questions about this item
How many drives can I connect to the four SATA 3.0 ports simultaneously?
The card provides four independent SATA 3.0 ports, each running at 6 Gbps, so you can attach up to four hard drives, SSDs or optical drives at the same time.
Does the on-board heat sink keep the controller cool during continuous operation?
A built-in high-efficiency heat sink is fitted to dissipate heat and support stable, long-term use in desktop, NAS or mining rig environments.
What slot type must my motherboard have for this card to work?
It installs in any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and includes a standard bracket for desktop chassis mounting.
