6-Port SATA 3.0 Expansion Card

This PCIe 4X card adds six SATA 3.0 6Gbps ports to a desktop system. It is built on the ASMedia ASM1166 controller and fits PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slots. The board is designed for users who need more internal drive connections than the motherboard provides.

For storage arrays and software RAID

The card suits builders creating a storage pool or configuring software RAID under Windows or Linux. It does not support hardware RAID, so users who require a dedicated RAID engine should choose a different controller.

PCIe 3.0 x4 host interface

The card connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x4 slot and is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 slots. Maximum throughput depends on the slot generation: PCIe 3.0 delivers 500–550 MB/s, PCIe 2.0 provides 380–450 MB/s, and PCIe 1.0 is limited to 200–300 MB/s.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 6-port version or a smaller card?

The card provides six SATA 3.0 6.0 Gbps ports through a single PCI-Express 4X slot, so you gain six drives without using extra motherboard connectors.

What real-world throughput will I see from the 6.0 Gbps SATA ports?

In a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 slot the controller can reach 500-550 M/S; in a 2.0 slot it drops to 380-450 M/S, and in a 1.0 slot only 200-300 M/S.

Does the PCI-Express 4X interface limit the six SATA ports?

The ASMedia ASM1166 chip uses a 2X PCI-Express 3.0 link, giving up to 8 GB/S bidirectional bandwidth, so the 4X slot does not bottleneck the six 6.0 Gbps SATA ports.
