Startech 2 Port Sata 6 Gbps Pci Express Sata Controller Card - Dual Port Pcie Sata Iii Card Adapter PEXSAT32
QUICK OVERVIEW
The PEXSAT32 2-Port PCI Express SATA 6 Gbps (SATA 3.0) Controller Card offers
simple connectivity between a host computer and SATA 3.0 devices - a
cost-effective solution for connecting high-speed storage, such as High RPM Hard
Drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), which in turn allows for easier data
backups and archiving. With full support for SATA 3.0 hard drives and data
transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps, the adapter card features a native PCI Express
single chipset that provides enhanced compatibility, reliability and performance
for external SATA 600 MB/s storage needs. The controller card is backward
compatible with SATA 2.0 devices, providing the versatility to use older
storage, and features port multiplier capability with command-based and FIS-based
switching for connecting multiple external hard drives to a host PC through a
single external SATA connection. A dual profile solution, the SATA 3.0
controller card includes a low profile bracket for installation in slimline or
small form factor computer cases.
