This StarTech PEXESATA1 eSATA Controller Card turns a PCI Express (1x) slot into an external SATA port, to provide a quick and hassle-free external storage solution. With support of SATA 300 (SATA II) hard drives (backward compatible with SATA /150) and data transfer rates of up to 3Gbps, this card is the perfect solution for upgrading existing eSATA capability, or simply adding an external SATA port to a PC desktop computer.
Using a native PCI Express single chipset, the controller card provides enhanced compatibility, reliability and performance for your external storage needs. The controller card features Port Multiplier support with command based switching for connecting multiple external hard drives to a host computer through one eSATA connection. This card also features an internal SATA port, which could be used for a conventional (internal) SATA drive installation. (Please note that the internal SATA port can not be used at the same time as the external SATA port.)
