PCI-E to SATA Card (2 External/ 2 Internal Ports)

Product Overview

• 2 x eSATA External Ports
• 2 x SATA Internal Ports
• 48-Bit LBA Support
• SATA 6 Gb/s Data Transfer Rate

• This 4-Port (2 Internal/2 External) PCIe SATA 6 Gb/s Controller Card adds 2 internal or external SATA ports to your computer through a single PCIe (x1) card slot. The card features on-board jumper selection, which enables you to configure the card to provide 2 internal or external SATA III ports, or one of each, as required.
• The SATA III card features Port Multiplier (PM) support on each port, which allows multiple drives to be connected over a single cable when necessary. The card is fully compliant with the SATA revision 3.0 specification (up to 6 Gb/s of data bandwidth), enabling you to utilize the speeds of high-performance hard drives and solid-state drives (SSD), as well as SATA-based optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Blu-Ray).
• Two internal/external switchable SATA ports
• Features two SATA channels that can be independently switched between the internal or external (eSATA) ports as needed
• Compliant with SATA revision 3.0, which can support up to 6 Gb/s of bandwidth
• Supports SATA-based optical drives (CD/DVD/BD)
• Offers SATA III connectivity (6 Gb/s) while maintaining backwards compatibility with SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and II (3 Gb/s) device connections, which helps eliminate the expense of having to upgrade drives
• Uses existing SATA I/II cabling
• Supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and ATA/ATAPI commands
• Port multiplier FIS-based and Command-based switching supported

• Upgrade an older PCIe-based system with SATA 6 Gb/s connectivity to better utilize faster SATA drives
• Add more internal SATA ports to a computer system for connecting additional storage drives and/or optical drives
• Add internal and/or external SATA III ports to a computer through a single PCIe slot, with the option to change the available connections to external/internal ports, as needed based on updated system requirements or applications
