2 Port PCI Express SATA 6 Gbps eSATA Controller Card - Dual Port PCIe SATA III Card - 2 Int/2 Ext
StarTech ID: PEXESAT322I
The PEXESAT322I PCI Express SATA III Controller Card (6 Gbps) gives you the option to add 2 internal or
external SATA ports to your computer, through a single PCI Express (x1) card slot. The card features on board
jumper selection, which enables you to configure the card to provide 2 internal or external SATA III ports, or one
of each, as needed.
The SATA III card features Port Multiplier (PM) support on each port, which allows multiple drives to be
connected over a single cable when necessary to maximize the number of SATA device connections while
reducing the amount of cabling required.
The card is fully compliant with the SATA revision 3.0 specification (up to 6Gbps of data bandwidth), enabling
you to utilize the speeds of high performance hard drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), as well as SATA-based
optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Blu-Ray).
The PEXESAT322I SATA III Controller card is backed by our 2-year manufacturer warranty and free lifetime
technical support.
