Vszerda SATA 3.0 PCIe Expansion Card 6 Black Straight Cables Low Profile Bracket

8-Port SATA 3.0 PCIe Expansion Card

The Vszerda adapter adds eight SATA 3.0 ports through a single PCI-Express x1 slot using a Marvell 88SE9215 chip with a heatsink. It includes six black straight cables and a low-profile bracket for compact cases. The card is new and compliant with SATA 3.0 and PCI-Express v2.0 specifications. It supports AHCI and IDE modes with native command queuing.

Builders adding multiple drives to an open PCIe slot

This card suits builders who need extra SATA connections for hard drives or SSDs and have a spare x1, x2, x4, x8 or x16 slot. It works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2008 and Linux. It is not suited for systems without a free PCI-Express slot or for drives that require a different host interface. The low-profile bracket helps fit smaller chassis.

Marvell 88SE9215 controller with heatsink

The Marvell 88SE9215 chip provides the eight SATA 3.0 ports and is cooled by an integrated heatsink. The controller supports 6.0, 3.0 and 1.5 Gbps speeds and Gen 1i, 1x, 2i, 2m, 2x and 3i signalling. It enables hot-swap operation and port multiplier support. This specification determines whether the card matches the drive count and performance level required.
