4X PCI Express Expansion Card to SATA 3.0 Regular 8-Ports Adapter PCI-E 4.0 to SATA Connectors Extension 8 Ports Disk Drive Backplane With 8cm 12cm BracketThis expansion card adds eight standard SATA 3.0 ports through an available PCIe x4 slot, making it a practical choice for motherboards with limited onboard SATA ports but spare PCIe x4 slots. It can be used to connect multiple SATA SSDs or 3.5 -inch hard drives in storage-focused systems. The package includes both a standard 12 cm bracket and an 8 cm low-profile bracket. Please note that this adapter supports SATA drives only and does not work with SAS drives.

SATA data cables are not included and must be purchased separately. The eight SATA 3.0 ports support transfer rates of 6.0 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps, and 1.5 Gbps, and a SATA SSD can be connected as a system drive. Power management functions are supported. Hot-plug behavior may vary depending on the operating system and drive configuration. The card uses a high-speed controller chip with an onboard heatsink to help keep operating temperatures lower. It supports error reporting, recovery, and correction, as well as partial and sleep power management states.

Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 link rates are supported, along with NCQ to help maintain drive performance and stability under load. No additional driver installation or software setup is required. It is compatible with SATA mechanical hard drives, SATA SSDs, and optical drives, and works with Windows, Windows Server, macOS, Linux, and various NAS operating systems.
