8-Port SATA PCIe Expansion Card, PCI-E to Mini SAS SFF-8087 SATA Controller

Upgrade your desktop or server’s storage capacity with our 8-Port SATA 3.0 PCIe Expansion Card — a reliable, high-performance solution for adding extra SATA ports for SSDs, HDDs and optical drives, ideal for high-density storage builds.Built around the ASMedia ASM1166 host controller chip, this adapter delivers a total bus bandwidth of 20Gbps through a single PCIe Gen3 X4 slot, with each of the eight SATA 3.0 ports supporting up to 6Gbps transfer speeds. It is fully backward compatible with SATA 2.0 and SATA 1.0 devices, making it suitable for both new and legacy storage hardware. The dual Mini SAS SFF-8087 interfaces provide a compact, high-density connection for clean internal cable management, perfect for server and NAS environments.Designed for stable continuous operation, the card features thickened gold-plated PCIe gold fingers for secure electrical contact and resistance to wear and oxidation. Individual LED indicators for each port provide at-a-glance status monitoring, showing drive connection and data activity in real time. This makes it ideal for home servers, workstation storage upgrades, small business storage arrays and general desktop expansion.The card fits any standard PCIe X4, X8 or X16 motherboard slot and is compatible with Windows 7/8/10/11, Ubuntu, Linux and macOS operating systems. A low profile bracket is included for installation in compact SFF PC cases.Important Compatibility Note:This card operates on the SATA protocol. It is not compatible with SAS hard drives or SAS protocol devices.Package Contents:1 × 8-Port SATA 3.0 PCIe Expansion Card1 × 8cm Low-Profile Bracket1 × 15-Pin SATA Power Cable2 × SFF-8087 to 4× SATA Straight Data Cables
