Six-port SATA expansion card

The Vszerda PCIe SATA 6 Port Expansion Card adds six SATA 3.0 connections through a single PCIe slot. It uses the ASMedia ASM1166 controller and works with Windows XP, 8, 10, macOS, Ubuntu and NAS platforms. No driver installation is required for most systems.

Suits builds needing more drive bays

This card suits desktop owners who want to attach up to six SATA SSDs or optical drives without RAID. It fits standard and low-profile cases through PCIe x4, x8 or x16 slots. Builders who need hardware RAID or Windows 7 support should look at other options.

PCIe 2.0 x1 host interface

The card connects through a PCIe 2.0 x1 link running at 2.5 Gbps. Each SATA port delivers up to 6 Gbps and is backward compatible with 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps devices. The package includes the controller card and a low-profile bracket.

Questions about this item

Will the PCIe 2.0 x1 link become the bottleneck when all six SATA 3.0 drives are active?

The card uses a single PCIe 2.0 lane at 2.5 Gbps, so total host bandwidth is below the combined 6 Gbps per port ceiling.

Does the ASM1166 controller run hot or need active cooling during continuous operation?

No fan or heatsink is mentioned; the controller is designed for passive cooling inside a normal chassis airflow.

Which operating systems can boot from a drive attached to this card without extra drivers?

Windows XP, 8, 10, macOS, Ubuntu and NAS platforms are listed as supported for boot and operation.
