weastlinks PCI-E x1 to 2-port SATA 3.0 adapter ASM1061

SKU CH-ZSYW-03PFR

Adds two SATA 3.0 ports through a PCI-Express x1 slot using an ASMedia ASM1061 controller

  • Changer TypeSATA
  • Adds two SATA 6.0Gbps ports via PCIe x1 slot
  • ASMedia 1061 controller supports SATA 3.0, 2.0 and 1.5Gbps speeds
  • Works in x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots with PCIe 2.0 backward compatibility
  • Hot-plug and hot-swap let you change drives without powering down
  • Native Command Queuing and Port Multiplier support improve multi-drive performance

Two-port SATA 3.0 add-in card

This PCI Express x1 expansion card adds two SATA 3.0 ports using an ASMedia ASM1061 controller. It fits any x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot and supports SATA 6 Gbps, 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps drives with backward compatibility. The board provides AHCI and IDE modes plus Native Command Queuing for improved throughput.

Suits builds needing extra SATA ports

Builders who want to connect additional hard drives or SSDs to a spare PCIe slot will find this adapter straightforward. It requires an available PCI Express x1 slot and supports Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2008 and Linux. Systems without a free PCIe slot cannot use this card.

ASM1061 controller with Port Multiplier support

The single decisive specification is the ASM1061 chipset, which enables Port Multiplier FIS-based and command-based switching. This allows multiple drives behind each port when a compatible multiplier is used. If your workload does not need Port Multiplier capability, a simpler single-port adapter may suffice.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a one-port or two-port SATA 3.0 adapter for my build?

This card provides two SATA 3.0 ports, letting you connect a pair of 6.0Gbps drives from a single PCIe x1 slot.

Will the 6.0Gbps rating actually hit that speed inside my PC?

The ASM1061 controller runs at 6.0Gbps on PCIe 2.0 x1; on a 1.0 slot the link caps at 250MB/s, so use a 2.0-capable x1 or x16 slot for full throughput.

What PCIe standard does the x1 slot need to support for full SATA 3.0 performance?

A PCIe 2.0 x1 slot (or x4, x8, x16 running at 2.0) is required; 1.0 slots limit the adapter to 250MB/s.
