Startech.Com Sata Pcie Card - 10 Port Pcie Sata Expansion Card - 6Gbps - Low/Full Profile

This PCIe expansion card adds ten SATA ports to a desktop or workstation that has run out of onboard drive connections, ideal for anyone building a multi-drive NAS, media server or storage array. It fits a standard PCIe slot and each port runs at 6Gbps, matching the SATA III standard, so existing SATA hard drives and SSDs perform at their full rated speed rather than being bottlenecked by an older controller. The card ships with both low-profile and full-profile brackets, so it suits full-tower cases and slim SFF or rack-mount chassis without buying a separate bracket kit. It's a straightforward way to turn a single free PCIe slot into ten extra drive connections for archival storage, virtualisation hosts or a home server build. Installation is a simple slot fit, with no external power adapter needed for the card itself.
