8 Port PCIe 3.0 X1 SATA 3.0 Expansion Card Model SI-PEX40165, Dual ASM1064 Chips 6Gbps Non-RAID Storage Controller, Low Profile Bracket Included

This SI-PEX40165 PCIe SATA expansion controller card adopts dual ASMedia ASM1064 chip solution, providing eight independent SATA 3.0 channels with 6Gbps maximum transmission speed to expand motherboard storage ports massively.

It features non-RAID architecture without complicated array configuration, allowing each connected SATA hard drive and solid-state drive to run independently. The card supports booting operating systems directly from disks attached to it, which is convenient for desktop storage upgrade and multi-disk recording equipment.

A detachable low profile metal bracket is included, enabling flexible installation in both regular full-size tower PCs and compact small-form-factor mini hosts. It can be inserted into any PCIe X1/X4/X8/X16 slots on mainstream motherboards.

Optimized shielding circuit reduces signal crosstalk effectively, ensuring steady 24-hour continuous read-write performance even when all eight storage devices are fully loaded. Compatible with all 2.5-inch SSDs and 3.5-inch mechanical SATA hard drives, backward compatible with SATA I & SATA II hardware.

Complete matched driver files cover mainstream Windows and Linux operating systems for quick plug-and-play setup. It is a cost-effective storage expansion hardware for surveillance recording servers, light-duty multi-disk NAS, desktop data backup stations and DIY storage hosts.
