SKU CH-W1JR-0V9S9

Adds two SATA 3.0 ports via PCIe x1 with ASM1061 controller and low-profile bracket

  • Adds two SATA 3.0 ports via PCIe x1 slot
  • Delivers up to 6.0 Gbps transfer speed for SSD or HDD
  • Works with Windows XP through 10 plus Linux and Mac
  • Low-profile bracket included for small-form-factor cases
  • ASM1061 controller supports hot-swap and plug-and-play operation

Two-port SATA 3.0 expansion card

This Vszerda add-on card fits a PCI-Express x1 slot and provides two SATA 3.0 connectors for SSDs or HDDs. It runs at up to 6.0 Gbps and is backward compatible with 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps drives. The ASM1061 controller supports AHCI 1.0 and IDE modes. A low-profile bracket is included for small-form-factor cases.

Upgrade from boards with fewer SATA ports

The card adds two 6.0 Gbps ports to a motherboard that has no free SATA headers or only older 1.5 Gbps connectors. It is worth fitting when you need extra internal drives but have no M.2 slots or when the existing controller lacks AHCI 1.0 support. The jump makes sense if you are moving from IDE mode or a single-port add-on card.

Check slot and OS compatibility first

Verify the system has a free PCI-Express x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot and that the operating system is Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, Server 2003, Mac or Linux. No additional power connector is required. Buyers who need more than two drives or bootable RAID arrays should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does this card fit in a low-profile chassis?

Yes, the package includes a low-profile bracket and a screw so the card can be mounted in a slim case.

How do I install the ASM1061 card and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into any free PCI-Express x1 slot (x2, x4, x8 or x16 also work), secure it with the supplied screw, connect up to two SATA drives, then install the AHCI driver in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, Server 2003, Mac or Linux; the step many miss is loading that driver before the drives appear.

What maintenance will the card need over time?

The card itself has no moving parts and requires no scheduled maintenance; only the attached SATA drives may need replacement if they fail.
