Weastlinks PCIe to SATA IDE eSATA Adapter JMB363

SKU CH-0K3N-CF6EN

Adds two internal SATA ports, one IDE port and two eSATA ports with RAID support via a JMB363 chip

  • TypePCI Express to SATA / IDE Card
  • Adds two SATA, one IDE and two eSATA ports via PCIe
  • JMB363 controller handles RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and JBOD
  • SATA 3.0 compliant with 3.0 and 1.5 Gbps speeds
  • Hot-plug and hot-swap support for drive changes
  • NCQ and Port Multiplier support for multi-drive setups

What this adapter adds

The Weastlinks JMB363 card adds two internal SATA ports, one IDE port and two external eSATA ports to a desktop through a single PCI Express 2.0 slot. It targets owners of older drives who need to connect them to a modern motherboard without replacing the storage itself.

Limits of the PCIe 2.0 x1 link

The host connection uses PCI Express 2.0 and is backward compatible with 1.x. Each SATA or eSATA port runs at up to 3.0 Gbps while the single-lane bus caps total throughput near 4 Gbps, so simultaneous heavy transfers on multiple drives will share that bandwidth.

Upgrade path from onboard SATA 1.5 Gbps

This card replaces motherboard ports limited to 1.5 Gbps and adds RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and JBOD modes that many basic chipsets lack. The jump is worthwhile when you need faster SATA speeds, legacy IDE support or external eSATA connectivity on a system that has a free PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

Should I use the two internal SATA ports, the two eSATA ports, or the single IDE port for my drives?

The card provides two internal SATA, one IDE and two eSATA connectors, but a jumper forces you to choose between the eSATA pair and the internal SATA pair; the default setting enables the two internal SATA ports.

What does the 3.0 Gbps SATA rating mean for actual transfer speed on this card?

The JMB363 controller is compliant with Serial ATA Specification 3.0 and supports 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps link rates, so each connected SATA drive negotiates at up to 3.0 Gbps.

Will the PCIe 2.0 x1 slot limit the combined throughput of the SATA and eSATA ports?

The adapter uses a PCI Express 2.0 x1 interface, which caps total bandwidth at the lane’s 5 GT/s rate, so all active SATA and eSATA ports share that single-lane ceiling.
