Ports: 12 x SATA III 6Gbps Converts PCI-Express X1 interface to 12 SATA ports, suitable for connecting SSDs and other devices.
Features 12 LED indicators for clear HDD status monitoring.
Plug and play, no driver installation required; automatically recognizes and manages 12 drives.
Compatible with Windows, Linux, Ubuntu, ESXi, Synology NAS, and 99% of other operating systems.
Installation requires PCI-Express X1/X4/X8/X16 slots.

Package Contents:
PCI Express x1 to 12-port SATA 3.0 expansion card
8-port to 8-port SATA cable x1
4-port to 4-port SATA cable x1
User manual x1
Upstream Bandwidth Limitation: Under PCI-Express 3.0 X1 speed, the 12 SATA III 6Gbps ports share an 8Gbps bandwidth, hence all 12 SATA III drives cannot simultaneously achieve 6Gbps transfer rates.

As the headline says, it's a little flimsy, but it works with all 12 drives attached and hasn't overheated, so for the price it's a good deal. 5 stars.

I've got all the ports filled up and am able to do my day to day without a hitch or thinking, "Oh man, is my expansion card working correctly?" It's a seamless addition. That's how I like it. Great product!

Shopping on Amazon these days is usually third party dropshipped trash. This adapter is one such product. I plugged it into my computer and this card immediately shut my computer down. While this card was plugged in, my computer wouldn't turn on. Computer runs perfectly fine once I pulled the card back out.Thought I'd give this card a try- I did, I recommend you keep scrolling- if Amazon even has quality products these days after all the adds, sponsored products, and cheap drop-shipped garbage. If you need a SATA to PCIe adapter- find a brand you trust. This one won't work.

Easy purchase, considering distance prompt delivery. Well packed arrived undamaged. Product as described. Purchased to expand SATA DVD's and SSD's for computer storage. Great idea.

Great product. Seamless integration and extremely compact. Works great but did find that my ASUS motherboard would not boot from any drives connected to this card. Since I boot from an NVME anyway, this was not a problem. Was able to build a very solid and reliable 70tb Debian NAS server using this card.

Subject: Comprehensive Review: Expansion Card’s Functionality and LimitationsThe product in question serves as a highly useful expansion card, enabling users to revamp their older computers into a reasonable Network Attached Storage (NAS), provided they are comfortable with some tinkering. This expansion card offers substantial potential to any system possessing an unoccupied PCIE slot. However, it is not without its limitations.Firstly, the card arrives equipped with a FULL SIZE PCIE bracket exclusively. To accommodate my system, acquiring a low-profile/half-height pcie bracket was necessary, and the absence of this component is my primary grievance with the product. Considering the cost difference of low-profile brackets when purchased in both bulk and retail, including a low-profile option would have significantly improved the compatibility and user experience.Secondly, the expansion card operates on a PCIE x1 interface as opposed to a more preferable PCIE x4 interface. To elaborate, a PCIE 3.0 x1 bus holds a bandwidth of approximately 8 Gbps, equivalent to 1.3 times the bandwidth of a SATA 3.0 interface. Consequently, converting a PCIE x1 to 12 SATA 3.0 results in a considerable bottleneck, especially if you intend to allocate your storage to configurations other than a RAID 0 array – assuming your network can adequately handle the data stream.For networks operating between 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps, which are commonplace in most contemporary home setups, this card should suffice. However, my preference still leans towards a x4 interface over a x1, primarily due to the inevitable bottlenecking occurring with access to link aggregation methods.In conclusion, this expansion card stands as a proficient solution for those seeking to convert an older computer into a reasonable NAS, especially for systems within the majority of home network bandwidths. However, for optimal user satisfaction, including a low-profile bracket and enhancing the interface to a PCIE x4 are recommended enhancements. The current limitations necessitate consideration, particularly for those seeking to exploit higher bandwidths or utilize specific storage configurations.

Worked great. I had a few SSDs I wanted to use for extra storage and this worked great. Simple and efficient
