PCIe SATA Controller Expansion Card - 8 Ports with 8 SATA Cables, Power Splitter Cable and Low Profile Bracket - PCI-E X1 3.0 Gen3 (6Gbps) Controller Card (ASM1064+JMB575)

Drops in and worked right out of the box on my Windows 11 machine, did not need the disc for driver install. Extra sata cables were nice to have as well. Especially helpful for my DVD burner and mechanical hard drives when short on sata ports on the motherboard.

I purchased this to run 6 disks in a RAID 6 soft-raid configuration. It works just fine. When booting, it only shows 4 of the disks. But when Linux finishes booting, all ports are available.I do not know what the throughput is... but it is not slow. The server works just fine. (It is faster than the gigabit network speed... if that helps.)

This card works flawlessly. The main issue is:The card does not allow Hot Swap, you must reboot each drive change.

Got two of these running a media server. No issues at all!

Worked as advertised. Great product.

My FreeNas Server is getting an expansion plus an upgrade. Currently it has a 5X3TB Pool. I'm adding a 5X6TB Pool. All the drives are WD Reds.The originals have been running since 2019 when I began running FreeNas 11.2. I'm using an ASUS Prime X470 Pro MB w/64 gb ram and an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor. I've upgraded to TrueNas 13.6.I needed more SATA Ports. I bought this expansion card on October 2024. It worked fine until about this January 4. At that point the server needed to be restarted every two or three days. Finally I lost video. I replaced the video card. I reseated all the memory, checked the cables, the 24" LG monitor, Reinstalled the OS on a different HD. Finally I removed the SATA expansion card. Problem solved. The folks at TrueNas say their OS recognizes SATA expansion cards. So I'm going to try a different card.

I ordered this Sata Controller cause i was combining certain parts from 2 computers into 1 case. I installed this sata card because i have 6 SSD drives and 2 HDD drives. I first installed it on my older FX-8350 8 core computer and It work flawlessly booted the computer up and it was recognized right away. Then i had to replace my MB and processor and memory and I installed it into the new computer and it worked right off the bat. This is a great little sata card for anyone that wants to add more drives to their computer.

I needed to add more disk space in my media server. Ordered a card from a different company, only 3 of the ports worked so back it went. Ordered this one to give it a try. The shipping was fast, the packaging was good. It came with sata cables, power adapter to add 4 more sata power plugs( should come with 2). and driver disk(not needed) Swapped my 4 port card out, put this one in and buttoned it up. Put the server back in place and brought it up. Unraid saw all of the new drives and is working flawlessly. I would highly recommend this card to anyone that needs to expand your sata drive space.
