Mini PCI-E to SATA 3.0 riser card
This adapter converts a Mini PCI-E slot into two or four SATA 3.0 ports using a PCI-E 2.0 interface. It supports B+M key M.2 SSDs and provides a simple way to add storage connectivity to compatible systems. The card operates at 2.5 or 5 Gbps depending on the drive and slot configuration.
Sustained transfer behaviour
Under continuous load the link runs at PCI-E 2.0 speeds, so throughput is limited to the 2.5 or 5 Gbps lane rate rather than short burst peaks. Thermal throttling is unlikely given the low power draw of the controller and attached SATA drives. Performance remains stable for long copy jobs or server workloads.
Highlights
- Adds SATA storage via Mini PCI-E slot
- B+M key design fits both M.2 key types
- PCI-E 2.0 link delivers up to 5 Gbps
- Supports two or four SATA 3.0 ports

Questions about this item
How much power does the Vszerda Mini PCI-E to SATA 3.0 riser card draw when running continuously?
The adapter is a passive converter with no active components, so its own power draw is negligible; only the connected SATA drives consume measurable power.
Does the card need an external power cable, or does it take power from the Mini PCI-E slot?
It draws slot power for the controller, but each SATA drive requires its own separate power connection from the system PSU.
