    Vszerda SA3034C 4 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card, SATA III 6Gbps, ASM1064 | PCIe 3.0 x1, 207MB/s per port, OS boot, 4 SATA cables & power splitter included, NAS & PC builds

    • 4-PORT SATA EXPANSION CARD: Adds 4 SATA III (6Gbps) drives to your desktop at once, turning one PCIe x1 slot into a 4-bay storage pool for unRAID, TrueNAS, ZFS, Proxmox or Windows Storage Spaces software RAID. Hardware RAID is not supported.
    • 207MB/S ON EVERY PORT: PCIe 3.0 X1 upstream runs at 8GT/s, and each of the 4 SATA ports delivers up to 207MB/s, so large multi-drive transfers, media libraries and backup jobs finish fast with no bottleneck.
    • Boot from Your SATA Drive: Supports OS boot from port 1, so you can install or move Windows, macOS, or Linux onto a SATA SSD without losing your NVMe slot, and keep it as a dedicated system drive.
    • NO DRIVER, WIDE COMPATIBILITY: Plug and play on Windows (except XP), Mac OS, Linux and NAS systems. Set SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS or UEFI before first install.
    • FITS X1/X4/X8/X16 SLOTS, FULL KIT INCLUDED: Ships with 4 x SATA III cables (350mm/13.5in), a 1:5 SATA power splitter cable, and both a 12cm regular and an 8cm low-profile bracket for any PC or NAS case.

    Model: SA3034C

    Product Type 4-Port PCIe SATA III Expansion Card (Host Bus Adapter / HBA, non-RAID)
    Controller Chipset ASMedia ASM1064
    Host Interface PCI Express 3.0 x1 (upstream, 8 GT/s per lane)
    Compatible Slots PCIe x1 / x4 / x8 / x16 (physical slot)
    SATA Ports 4 × SATA III (internal), 6 Gbps per port
    Per-Port Bandwidth Up to 207.5 MB/s max per port
    RAID Support Hardware RAID: Not supported · Software RAID only (unRAID, TrueNAS / ZFS, Proxmox, Windows Storage Spaces)
    OS Boot Support Yes — boot from Port 1 (Windows, macOS, or Linux system drive)
    SATA Controller Mode AHCI (must be set in BIOS / UEFI before first install)
    LED Indicators 4 × built-in LEDs — steady light = normal operation; flashing = data read/write activity
    Operating Systems Windows (except Windows XP), macOS, Linux, NAS systems
    Driver Requirement None — Plug and Play, no driver installation required
    Compatible Devices SATA SSD / HDD (up to 4 drives), desktop PC, NAS enclosure
    Typical Applications NAS builds, home server, software RAID storage pool, media library, backup target, OS boot drive
    Brackets Included Regular-profile bracket (for desktop PCs) + low-profile bracket (for 2U servers)
    SA3034-C 4-Port PCIe X1 SATA Expansion Card
    • Yes - connect the OS drive to Port 1 and set AHCI first. Most UEFI boards boot fine; some older Legacy BIOS boards may not.

    • Enter BIOS / UEFI --- Advanced Mode --- SATA Mode: AHCI. (Note: set AHCI first then install Windows. If Windows has already been installed under IDE/RAID/VMD mode, directly switching SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS will trigger blue screen crash.

    • No. Use software arrays: Windows Storage Spaces, ZFS, mdadm, unRAID, TrueNAS or Proxmox.

    • No - it is normal. Steady light means the port is working; flashing light means data is being read or written.

    GLOTRENDS SA3034C 4-Port SATA III PCIe Expansion Card - Turn One PCIe X1 Slot into Four 6Gbps SATA Ports Need more drive bays but out of SATA ports? The SA3034C adds 4 x SATA III (6Gbps) ports through a single PCIe 3.0 X1 slot, so you can connect up to 4 additional HDDs or SSDs and build a large storage pool, an affordable home NAS, or a software RAID array without replacing your motherboard. Real ASM1064 Performance At the heart of the card is the ASM1064 controller, linked upstream at PCIe 3.0 X1 (8GT/s). Every one of the four downstream SATA ports delivers up to 207.5MB/s of real-world bandwidth - comfortably above single mechanical drive speed, and ideal for large-file transfers, backup targets, media libraries, and virtual machine storage. Boot Your System from SATA Port 1 supports OS boot, which means you can install Windows, macOS, or Linux onto a SATA SSD on this card. That frees your motherboard's M.2 slot for fast NVMe cache or additional storage - a popular setup for NAS and home-lab builds. Driver-Free, Broad Compatibility No driver installation required. The card is plug-and-play on Windows 11/10/8/7 (Windows XP not supported), macOS, Linux, Ubuntu, and ESXi, and is recognized as a standard AHCI SATA controller. It installs in PCIe X1, X4, X8, or X16 slots (PCIe 3.0/2.0/1.0), so it fits desktop towers, small-form-factor cases, and server chassis alike. Built-In Drive Monitoring Four onboard LEDs show status at a glance: a steady red light means the drive is powered and running normally, while a flashing light shows active read or write activity - useful when you are identifying a drive or troubleshooting a bay.
