Startech SATA PCIe Card, 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion card, 6Gbps SATA Card, Low/Full Profile, Stacked SATA Connectors, ASM1166 Non-Raid SATA Controller Card, PCI Express to SATA Converter, storage controller, SATA 6Gb/s, PCIe 3.0 x4

DescriptionThis 6-port SATA III (6Gbps) controller enables you to add six SATA 6Gbps Hard Drives (HDDs) or Solid State Drives (SSDs) to your computer system or server via an available PCIe x4 card slot. The card supports SATA III and PCI-Express 3.0 Specifications.ASM1166 to deliver 6-Port SATA 6Gbps performanceWide compatibilityHassle-free installationASM1166 to deliver 6-Port SATA 6Gbps performanceFeaturing the ASM1166 controller, this SATA card enables the connection of six high-performance SATA 6Gbps drives with a combined total throughput of up to 16Gbps. The SATA drives are connected via six individual SATA ports located on the card (SATA cables sold separately).Wide compatibilityThe controller card is widely supported across all popular operating system platforms including Windows (7, 8, 10), macOS (10.10 and above) and Linux (2.6.32 and above). The card also supports port multiplier, giving you the ability to connect multiple drives to a single SATA port (additional hardware required, sold separately). To further improve motherboard compatibility the card does not have a built-in RAID controller, but fully supports the use of software RAID. Plus, with support for PCIe 3.0 and SATA III Specifications this card ensures backward compatibility with previous generations (SATA I/II, PCIe 1/2) at lower performance.Hassle-free installationThe SATA controller card features plug-and-play installation and can be installed in full-profile and low-profile computer systems with a full-profile bracket preinstalled, and an interchangeable low-profile (half-height) bracket included. The card also supports storage software data management systems such as Storage Spaces (Microsoft), RAID Assistant (MacOS) and mdraid/mdadm (Linux), for hassle-free setup, partitioning and software RAID array building.Main SpecificationsProduct DescriptionStartech SATA PCIe Card, 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion card, 6Gbps SATA Card, Low/Full Profile, Stacked SATA Connectors, ASM1166 Non-Raid SATA Controller Card – PCI Express to SATA Converter – storage controller – SATA 6Gb/s – PCIe 3.0 x4Device TypeStorage controller – plug-in card – low profileBus TypePCIe 3.0 x4ColourRedInterfaceSATA 6Gb/sData Transfer Rate6 Gbit/sSupported DevicesHard drive, solid state driveMax Storage Devices Qty6System RequirementsMicrosoft Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft Windows Server 2016, Apple MacOS X 10.10 or later, Linux 2.6.32 or later, Microsoft Windows Server 2019, Microsoft Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11Dimensions (WxDxH)1.6 cm x 8.5 cm x 5.4 cmWeight75 gExtended SpecificationsGeneralDevice TypeStorage controller – plug-in card – low profileHost BusPCIe 3.0 x4ColourRedStorage ControllerInterfaceSATA 6Gb/sData Transfer Rate6 Gbit/sSupported DevicesHard drive, solid state driveMax Storage Devices Qty6ProcessorASM1166Expansion / ConnectivityInterfaces6 x SATA 6Gb/s – SATA (internal)MiscellaneousIncluded AccessoriesLow-profile bracketFeaturesS.M.A.R.T. support, TRIM support, 4Kn drive compatible, bootable, ATAPI supportCompliant StandardsRoHS, WEEESoftware / System RequirementsOS RequiredMicrosoft Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft Windows Server 2016, Apple MacOS X 10.10 or later, Linux 2.6.32 or later, Microsoft Windows Server 2019, Microsoft Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11Dimensions & WeightWidth1.6 cmDepth8.5 cmHeight5.4 cmWeight75 gDimensions & Weight (Shipping)Shipping Width17 cmShipping Depth14.2 cmShipping Height3 cmShipping Weight120 gEnvironmental ParametersMin Operating Temperature0 °CMax Operating Temperature85 °CHumidity Range Operating20 – 80% RH
