Four-Port SATA III Controller Card

The weastlinks Mini PCI-E SATA 4 Port 6G 88SE9215 Controller Card adds four SATA 6 Gbps ports through a single Mini PCI Express slot. It uses the Marvell 88SE9215 controller and is compliant with the Serial ATA 3.1 specification. The card supports transfer rates of 6.0 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps. Hot plug and hot swap are supported for convenient drive changes.

Suits Expanding Internal Storage

This adapter suits builders who need to connect up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs to a system with an available Mini PCI Express slot. It supports AHCI 1.0, Native Command Queueing, aggressive power management and staggered spin-up. It is not for users who require hardware RAID across drives connected to a port multiplier. The card also lacks support for drive interfaces other than SATA.

Deciding Specification: Mini PCI Express Interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the Mini PCI Express host interface. Your motherboard or chassis must provide a free Mini PCI Express slot that can carry SATA signals. The package includes four SATA cables, a driver CD and a user manual. Supported operating systems include Windows XP through 10, Server 2003 and 2008 R2, and Linux kernel 2.6.x or later.

Questions about this item

What cables and accessories are included with the weastlinks Mini PCI-E SATA 4 Port 6G 88SE9215 Controller Card?

The packing list includes the controller card, a user manual, four SATA cables and a driver CD. No extra cables or brackets are required to connect up to four SATA drives.

How do I decide whether this 4-port 6Gbps card is the right capacity for my build?

Choose this card when you need to add four SATA 6Gbps ports over a single Mini PCI-E lane. It supports 6.0, 3.0 and 1.5 Gbps drives, hot-plug, NCQ and AHCI 1.0, but RAID on Port Multiplier is not supported.

What does the 6.0 Gbps headline speed mean once the card is installed in a real machine?

Each of the four ports can transfer at up to 6.0 Gbps with SATA 3.1 drives, while remaining backward-compatible with 3.0 and 1.5 Gbps drives. Actual throughput depends on the drive, the Mini PCI-E slot bandwidth and the operating system (Windows XP through 10, Server 2003/2008 R2, Linux 2.6.x+).
