M.2 to SATA3.0 Adapter Card 6 Port, PCIE3.0 X2 16Gbps to SATA3.0 6Gbps Expansion, ASM1166 Chip with Aluminum Heatsink, Smart LED Indicator, NAS/Server Storage for Linux

PCIE3.0 x2 16Gbps Uplink, 6x SATA3.0 6Gbps Downlink Full-duplex bandwidth allocation ensures zero bottleneck when all 6 drives operate simultaneouslyunlike standard adapters that throttle under multi-drive load. Based on ASMedia ASM1166 PCIe Gen 3 switch chip, native SATA controller architecture eliminates driver conflicts common in software RAID cards. Backward compatible with SATA I/II/III SSDs and HDDs.
with CNC Aluminum Heatsink Precision-milled aluminum alloy heatsink with thermal pad direct-contact design maintains ASM1166 chip below 65°C under sustained 6-drive workloadpreventing thermal throttling that degrades transfer speeds by 40%+ on uncooled adapters. Passive cooling requires zero maintenance, zero noise, ideal for 24/7 NAS and server environments.
Per-Port Smart LED Status Indicator Each SATA port features independent bi-color LED: solid blue = device connected, breathing blue = idle, rapid flash = active read/write. Instantly identify and activity without software toolscritical for headless servers and rack-mounted systems where physical limited. No more guessing which drive is failing.
Plug-and-Play Across , Linux, macOS Native driver support for 10/11, Server 2016/2019/2022, Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04, CentOS 7/8, Debian 10/11, VE, CORE/SCALE. No additional software, no BIOS configuration, no kernel module compilation. Bootable drive support for OS installation direct from connected SATA SSD.
Installation Kit with Screwdriver Included Package contains M.2 2280 mounting screw and Phillips screwdriver for easy heatsink installation. Supports M Key and B+M Key M.2 slots (PCIe-based). Note: Port multiplier mode only, not hardware RAID. No hot-swap supportpower down before connecting/disconnecting drives. Designed for desktop NAS builds, home servers, and SMB storage expansion.
