Add Four Internal SATA III (6Gbps) Ports To A Computer Through A PCI Express x2 Slot The PEXSAT34RH 4-Port PCI Express 2.0 SATA Controller Card with HyperDuo adds four AHCI SATA III ports to a computer through a PCIe slot (x2), delivering multiple internal 6Gbps connections for high-performance hard drives and Solid State Drives (SSDs). Featuring HyperDuo technology, the SATA card offers SSD auto-tiering which lets you balance the performance advantages of SSD storage with the cost-effectiveness and large capacity of standard hard drives. By combining SSD and HDD drives into a single volume (up to 3 SSD + 1 HDD), HyperDuo discreetly works in the background to identify and move frequently accessed files to the faster SSD drive(s) for improved data throughput – up to 80% of SSD performance! Note: The HyperDuo automatic storage tiering feature is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8 only. Adds four internal SATA III (6Gbps) ports to a computer through a PCI Express x2 slot View larger Support for up to four internal hard drives using latest SATA III specification, while providing flexibility to support various RAID modes. Four Port PCI Express GEN 2.0 SATA III (6Gbps) RAID x2 Controller Card View larger Leverage SSD performance and standard HDD capacity with HyperDuo technologyView larger Maximize system capability with SATA III connection speeds Fit any standard or low profile chassis with included bracketsView larger The PCIe SATA controller card supports Port Multiplier (PM), enabling multiple SATA drives to be connected to one port over a single cable, for a total of seven drives (up to four drives through PM on one port, and a single drive to the remaining three ports). Plus, the SATA controller card offers an effective hardware RAID solution, with native RAID (0, 1, 1+0) support.
