Eight-Port SATA III Controller

This Vszerda expansion card adds eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports through a single PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot. It uses a Marvell 88SE9215 plus JMicron JMB5xx chipset and operates as a non-RAID controller compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP and Linux.

Suited for storage expansion, not RAID

Builders who want to connect up to eight SATA hard drives or SSDs, including 10 TB units, will find the eight native ports useful. Buyers who need hardware RAID or port-multiplier support cannot use this card. The low-profile bracket fits slim chassis where a full-height card will not install.

PCIe 2.0 x1 lane limits total throughput

The card runs at PCI Express 2.0 x1, so the fastest sustained transfer is 380-450 MB/s across all eight ports combined. If installed in a PCIe 1.0 slot the rate drops to 200-300 MB/s. Any system with only a single x1 slot available can still add eight drives, but total bandwidth stays capped by the single lane.

Questions about this item

How hot or loud does the Marvell 88SE9215+JMicron JMB5xx chipset run when all eight SATA ports are active continuously?

The card has no onboard fan and draws power only from the PCIe 2.0 x1 slot, so it runs silently; typical controller temperatures stay within normal operating limits for a non-RAID HBA under sustained load.

What must already be in my system for this eight-port SATA controller to function?

You need one free PCI Express x1 slot (x2, x4, x8 or x16 also accept the card), a 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP or Linux installation, and SATA data plus power cables for each drive you attach.

Will the card work reliably with older 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps hard drives I want to keep using?

Yes, the controller is backward compatible with SATA 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps drives, and the Marvell 88SE9215+JMicron JMB5xx chipset negotiates the correct link speed automatically for each connected device.
