8-Port SATA 3.0 Expansion Card

This SMUGDESK adapter adds eight SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports through a single PCIe slot using the 88SE9215 controller chip. It supports 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives, SSDs and optical drives. A built-in heat sink ensures stable operation during continuous heavy workloads.

Ideal for NAS RAID and Multi-Drive Storage Builders

The card suits home NAS appliances, IPFS nodes, RAID arrays and mining storage rigs that need many SATA drives. It is not for systems lacking a free PCIe slot or for users who need interfaces other than SATA.

Eight Independent SATA 3.0 Ports via 88SE9215

The 88SE9215 chip provides eight separate 6Gbps channels from one PCIe lane, each able to run a 2.5" or 3.5" drive at full SATA 3.0 speed. This port count and chip combination determines whether the card meets your drive-expansion needs.
