About this product
The 8-Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card offers connectivity for up to eight SATA devices at 6Gbps, making it suitable for expanding storage in desktop PCs or servers. It includes 8 cables and a low-profile bracket for versatile installation in various case sizes. The card is compatible with a PCIE x1 slot and supports multiple operating systems including Linux, Mac OS, and Windows XP. Designed as a SCSI Port Card, it provides a straightforward solution for mass storage integration.
Our take
This unbranded 8-port SATA expansion card is a solid option for anyone needing to add a significant number of SATA drives. The inclusion of eight cables and a low-profile bracket is a nice touch, ensuring you have everything you need to get started and flexibility for different case sizes. With 6Gbps per port, it's perfectly adequate for mechanical hard drives and most SATA SSDs. While it fits a PCIE x1 slot, which is convenient, be mindful that the cumulative bandwidth for all 8 ports might be limited by the x1 interface if all drives are heavily active simultaneously. Support for older OS like Windows XP is notable, though most users will be on newer systems.
