StarTech 6P6G‑PCIE‑SATA‑CARD 6‑Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card

StarTech 6P6G‑PCIE‑SATA‑CARD 6‑Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card – in Dubai

Overview:

The StarTech 6P6G‑PCIE‑SATA‑CARD is a PCIe‑based expansion card that adds six SATA III (6 Gbps) ports to a computer system or server using an available PCIe x4 slot. It addresses the need for additional internal SATA connections where onboard ports are insufficient for HDDs, SSDs, or optical drives.
It uses an ASMedia ASM1166 controller to deliver up to six independent SATA III connections, supporting combined data throughput up to 16 Gbps. The card has no onboard RAID logic, making it suitable for software RAID configurations via the host.
Installation is plug‑and‑play with full‑profile and included low‑profile brackets, enabling integration into standard desktop and server chassis with PCIe x4, x8, or x16 slots.
It supports broad operating system environments including Windows, macOS, and Linux, with compatibility for SATA I/II/III devices. Software RAID arrays are supported by host OS tools when required.
This card is not suitable for NVMe storage; it only provides SATA device connectivity and relies on software or host‑managed RAID where redundancy is needed.

Typical Deployment Scenarios:

• Expand internal SATA ports in servers and workstations
• Add multiple HDD/SSD storage to storage servers
• Internal SATA connectivity in compact chassis via PCIe x4/8/16 slots
• Software RAID storage pools using OS‑level tools
• DAS expansion for content workstations and media servers
