SKU CH-C697-BVV08

Adds six SATA III 6Gbps ports via a PCIe x4 slot using an ASMedia ASM1166 chip, includes six cables and a low-profile bracket

  • Color6 Port, PCIe-X4, with 6 SATA cable
  • Six 6 Gbps SATA ports for multiple drives
  • ASMedia ASM1166 chip for broad compatibility
  • Works in PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slots
  • Full-height and low-profile brackets included
  • Supports Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and VMware ESXi

Six-Port SATA III Controller

The Vszerda expansion card adds six SATA III ports through a single PCIe x4 slot using the ASMedia ASM1166 controller. It is designed for PC, server or NAS builders who need to connect up to six SATA SSDs or hard drives without RAID functionality. The card fits both full-height and low-profile chassis thanks to the included brackets and ships with six SATA cables.

Passive Cooling and Low Power Draw

The card operates without a fan, relying on the chassis airflow to keep the ASM1166 chip within normal limits. Power consumption stays modest because the controller only manages the SATA link layer and does not drive RAID calculations. Silent operation is maintained in typical desktop or rackmount environments where the system fans already provide adequate circulation.

Steady Throughput Under Continuous Load

During sustained transfers the six ports share the PCIe x4 host bandwidth, so aggregate throughput scales with the number of active drives. The controller supports port-multiplier command-based switching to keep queues moving when multiple devices are busy. Hot-swap is not supported, so drive changes require a controlled shutdown to avoid data interruption.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Vszerda 6-port PCIe SATA card and which bracket mistake should I avoid?

Insert the card into a PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slot, attach the six included SATA cables to the ports, then secure the bracket that matches your case height — low-profile for slim chassis, full-height for standard towers.

What maintenance will the ASMedia ASM1166 controller need over time?

The controller itself has no user-serviceable parts; keep the six SATA cables firmly seated and dust the card occasionally, but no firmware updates or component replacements are expected.

What throughput limit appears first when all six drives run sustained transfers?

The PCIe x4 host link and the ASM1166 chip both top out at SATA III 6 Gbps per port, so the combined bandwidth ceiling is reached before any single drive saturates its own link.
