Great Add-on SATA III Card

Over 500MB/sec. Sequential Read/Write speeds for SSD.

2 x Lanes of bandwidth for 1000MB/sec. max. bandwidth.

Works in PCI-e 2.0 x4 slot.

This 92xx generation of Marvell chipsets fully support stable, reliable SATA III performance.

Works with some versions of Linux but not with others, so check first!

If you want full SATA III speed for your SSD this is a simple, inexpensive option.

Install card plus any needed drivers.
Re-boot computer and make sure card is fully recognized in Windows Device Manager.
After that, you can shutdown and then connect your boot drive.
Then power on and go into BIOS. Be sure to select the card as the First Boot device then Save & Exit.
Computer will re-boot and should then boot normally to your boot drive which you attached to the card.

Connect up to 4 drives and get excellent results for the price (since you never use all drives at once).

Works great with SATA II motherboards to upgrade speed to SATA III.

If you want to set up RAID or create a fast Hybrid Drive (SSD + a regular HDD combo) spend a few dollars more and get the model SD-PEX40054. It's SSD caching and basic RAID setups both work well.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Decent

The card is inexpensive. The low profile portion helps when you want to build your own form factor NAS. Was able to install pretty easily on Windows.

Performance was fine for what I was expecting.

Had issues installing this with FreeNAS.

It's an okay card especially for the price point.
