  • Add four SATA SSDs through one PCIe x1 3.0 slot
  • 10 Gbps interface speed keeps data moving
  • Driver-free installation on Windows, Linux and NAS
  • Fits 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 M.2 lengths
  • ASMedia 1064 controller manages four B-key SATA drives

PCIe x1 3.0 M.2 SATA adapter

This Vszerda expansion card adds four B-key M.2 slots to a single PCI Express x1 3.0 lane. It accepts SATA-protocol SSDs in 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 lengths. The board uses an ASMedia 1064 controller and works without extra drivers on Windows, Linux, NAS, Ubuntu and ESXi systems.

SATA-only M.2 protocol constraint

The adapter communicates at 10 Gbps but only with M.2 drives that use the SATA protocol. NVMe SSDs are not supported and will not function in these slots. Buyers who need NVMe connectivity must choose a different controller.

Four-drive capacity with x1 bandwidth ceiling

Four SATA SSDs can be installed simultaneously, sharing the single PCIe 3.0 x1 link. The 10 Gbps interface rate sets the aggregate throughput limit, so sustained transfers from multiple drives will saturate the bus. Systems needing higher multi-drive bandwidth require a wider PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

What real-world throughput does the 10 Gbps PCIe 3.0 x1 link give each of the four M.2 SATA drives?

The PCIe 3.0 x1 host link caps total bandwidth at roughly 8 Gbps after encoding, so four SATA SSDs share that pool; each drive can still hit its native 6 Gbps SATA ceiling when the others are idle.

Does the ASMedia ASM1064 controller expose the drives as AHCI or RAID volumes to the operating system?

The ASM1064 presents each B-key M.2 SATA SSD as a standard AHCI device; no hardware RAID is implemented on the card.

What length M.2 modules fit the four B-key slots and how are they secured?

The slots accept 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 modules; each uses the standard M.2 mounting screw hole at the far end of the card.
