Eight additional SATA ports via PCIe for flexible storage expansion
Connect up to 8 drives immediately:8 SATA ports for HDDs and SSDs supplement missing motherboard ports.
Easy retrofit via PCIe x1:PCIe 2.0 compatible, backward compatible with PCIe 1.0 and usable in x2/x4/x8/x16 slots.
Efficient data management:AHCI and NCQ support high-performance access and queuing.
Fast drive changes during operation:Hot Plug and Hot Swap facilitate service and upgrades.
Scalability via port multiplier:Support for FIS and command switch for flexible connectivity.
The PCIe interface card adds eight SATA 3.0 ports with 6 Gb/s to desktop and workstation systems when the existing motherboard ports are not sufficient. This lets you connect additional HDDs and SSDs and benefit from AHCI, NCQ as well as Hot Plug/Hot Swap for efficient integration and short interruptions.
In professional IT environments, in on-site installations and in service deployments, the solution integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures. Use in PCIe slots from x1 to x16 and support for port multipliers facilitate scalable storage expansions in companies and public institutions.
