MicroConnect PCIe SATA III Expansion Card ASM1061

This board is a single-chip PCI Express to two SATA Gen III 6Gb/s channels host controller that brings server-class features to the desktop. It enables the use of the industry’s newest and fastest hard drives at 6Gb/s while providing backward compatibility to legacy SATA 1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s drives. It uses the same cable and connectors as previous SATA generations to ease integration. Additionally, PCI Express 2.0 doubles the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express bus for faster data throughput, enhancing system performance for every type of computer user. Each PCI Express 2.0 lane provides up to 500MB/s of throughput and is also backward compatible with the previous generation of PCI Express 1.0 technology.
