Startech PCI Express SATA 2 Ports Card

Incorporate two 6Gbps SATA ports for high-speed access to high-capacity internal storage solutions. The PCI Express SATA Controller 2 Port 6 Gbps (SATA 3.0), PEXSAT32offers simple connectivity between a host computer and SATA 3.0 devices - an efficient and economical solution to connect high-speed storage, such as High Capacity Hard Drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), which in turn facilitates the realization of backups and files. With support for SATA 3.0 hard drives and data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps, the adapter card offers a single native chip for PCI Express that provides greater compatibility, reliability and performance to SATA external storage systems of 600 MB / s.

The controller card is backwards compatible with SATA 2.0 devices, offering the possibility of using older storage, and supports RAID 0 and 1 modes as well as the port multiplier function with command-based switching and FIS to connect multiple external hard drives to a host PC through a single SATA connection. The SATA controller card is a double profile solution as it contains a low profile / medium height support that allows mounting in small or thin form factor cabinets.
