Xiwai PCI Express Expansion Card 4X to Dual SFF 8087 8 Ports SATA Adapter

PCI Express Expansion Card 4X to Dual SFF 8087 8 Ports SATA Adapter PCI-E 4.0 to Dual Serial MiniSAS SFF 8087 Connectors Extension 8 Ports SATA 6Gbps Disk Drive Backplane With 8cm 12cm Bracket This card adds two SFF-8087 connectors to a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, providing up to eight SATA 3.0 ports when used with 8087-to-SATA breakout cables. It is intended for motherboards that have spare PCIe x4 slots but limited onboard SATA ports, and can be used to connect multiple SATA SSDs or 3.5-inch hard drives in storage builds. The package includes both a standard 12 cm bracket and an 8 cm low-profile bracket. Please note: 1.This adapter works with SATA drives only; it does not support SAS drives. 2.8087-to-SATA breakout cables are not included and must be purchased separately. 3.The card requires separate SATA data connections through those breakout cables. The two SFF-8087 connectors support up to eight SATA 3.0 channels. It can be used with an SSD as a system drive, and the SATA interface supports transfer rates of 6.0 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps, and 1.5 Gbps. Power management functions are supported. Hot-plug capability may depend on the operating system, driver, and how the drives are connected. This PCIe x4 to dual SFF-8087 adapter is suitable for systems where the motherboard has fewer SATA ports but extra PCIe x4 slots. It allows you to add more regular SATA ports for storage appliances using multiple SSDs or 3.5-inch hard drives. The card uses a standard controller chip and includes a heatsink to help keep temperatures lower during operation. No additional software installation or settings are required. It supports error reporting, recovery, and correction, as well as partial and sleep power management states. Supported link rates include Gen1i, Gen1x, Gen2i, Gen2m, Gen2x, and Gen3i. Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is supported, which can help maintain performance and stability under load with compatible hard drives. The adapter is compatible with SATA mechanical hard drives, SATA SSDs, and optical drives. It works with Windows, Windows Server, macOS, Linux, and various NAS operating systems.
