Description

This 8-port SATA III (6Gbps) controller enables you to add eight SATA 6Gbps hard drives (HDDs) or solid State Drives (SSDs) to your computer system or server via an available PCIe x4 card slot. The card supports SATA III and PCI- Express Gen 2 Specifications and four SATA controllers to deliver a high- performance data storage solution. This SATA card enables the connection of eight high-performance SATA 6Gbps drives with a combined total throughput of up to 16Gbps. The SATA drives are connected via two Mini-SAS ports with two included Mini-SAS to 4x-SATA adapter cables. To ensure a secure connection, each SATA port on the included cables features a locking connector, that will prevent the drive from accidental disconnection when working inside your computer case. The controller card is widely supported across all popular operating system platforms including Windows (7,8,10, 11), macOS (10.10 - 11) and Linux (2.6.32 and above). The SATA controller card features plug-and-play installation and can be installed in full-profile and low-profile computer systems with a full-profile bracket preinstalled, and an interchangeable low- profile (half-height) bracket included. Supports storage software data management systems for hassle-free setup, partitioning and software RAID array building.

Great macOS-compatible JBOD card
Style: Non-RAID Size: 8 Port
Plugged in, plays, and off to races. This Startech 8P6G-PCIE-SATA-CARD is modeled after LSI HBA and provides SAS-style cabling and reliable drive connections. This is a SATA card, it does not support SAS. Pros: • Works natively with macOS (I'm using Monterey), no additional driver required. • Also Windows and Linux support. • Adds 8 ports, JBOD. • Supports SMART. • Includes SFF-8087 mini-SAS to SATA data cables, which will work with any SATA drive. • Cables included are standard SATA length, 0.5 meter. • Supports SATA port multiplier for additional ports. • Ports run at drive speed as expected, no glitches. Cons: • Not bootable, UEFI does not see connected drive EFI partitions. Notes: • Supports any size drive per SATA spec (this question is perennial). • Drive power cabling not included. • I am using longer 1 meter SFF-8087 cables for a large case with no problem. • I am using a Bewinner port multiplier, ADP6ST0-J05 SATA3 4-port Expansion Card: 1 source port, 5 drive ports, which expands by 4 ports for a total of 12 drives connected to this Startech. • Using a port multiplier means upstream link capacity is shared with all downstream drives: plan your storage layout accordingly. I am seeing drives run at speed over (e.g., 130+ MB/s sustained) to spinning drives over the multiplier. Final words: • This Startech is solid going in. • Before getting this card, I've tried two other PCIe SATA cards with typical SATA cabling (non-SAS) and both were totally unreliable, not detecting drives on some ports, CRC errors on detected ports, caused drive data corruption. • I also tried an LSI 9207-8i which is completely reliable and bootable, but it's not batively supported by macOS, which I need. ... show more

Easy to Install RAID Protection
Style: 4x SATA III Size: 4x SATA III
NOTE: This RAID card does not support 4K sector drives. Only 512/512e. Make sure you pair proper drives to it. Set up a pair of 16TB drives in a RAID 1 config on my Threadripper workstation quite easily for my long term backups. Decent performance and reasonable cost.

Good for the price
Style: 4x SATA III Size: 4x SATA III
Pros: - low cost RAID controller that works / easy to set up Cons - Well, I wouldn't say the data transfer speed is terrible through the RAID card, but it is definitely a little slower than just doing RAID through the integrated RAID controller on the motherboard. I have 4x 4TB WD Red Pro 7200rpm 256MB cache in RAID 10, and write speeds definitely dropped ~20% through this RAID card vs just using onbaord RAID controller. In reality, this is not that big of an issue, since the write speed is still above what my 1-Gbit home network bottlenecks the read / writes to / from my fileserver to which is ~120MB/s. - limited sector size (or whatever the term is) to 64KB when configuring RAID 10 through the BIOS - the SATA ports are a little looser than typical . The cables don't really fit like gloves, but fit loosely Other Notes During initial setup, the moment I plugged in the drives to the card, the computer wouldn't post at all, and when I disconnect the drives from the card, the computer boots again just fine. It turned out to be a bad SATA cable - after switching out the cable, boots just fine with minimal delay if any in boot time. Just something to watch out for, as a bad sata cable to a non-boot drive prevents the whole system from posting. ... show more

If you need more SATA ports
Style: Non-RAID Size: 4 Port
I plugged this adapter into an old Asus ITX motherboard (P8H61-I R2.0) I repurposed as an Unraid NAS. On boot, the system detected the drives I had plugged to this adapter. Works as advertised.

Basic hardware RAID, yay!
Style: 4x SATA III Size: 4x SATA III
I use this card in a 2TB RAID 1 (mirror) array with 6Gb/s drives and it works great. I skipped all the HyperDuo stuff because it's hard enough to get Windows to put the files where I want them, so I don't want some driver trying to move files around. I also didn't install any [Windows] drivers; I just use the BIOS driver. Windows sees the RAID array as a single drive and it works fine. Performance for a RAID 1 array using "fake" (Intel) MB RAID was 4.1; using the StarTech card instead brought the performance to 5.9. Some RAID cards get really hot, but the big heatsink on the StarTech barely warms up at all (in RAID 1 mode at least). There are header pins for optional drive activity LEDs. The LEDs illuminate when a drive is attached and blink when it's accessing. To reverse the polarity (so the LEDs flash on when the HDD is accessed) a little patch cable consisting of one mosfet and one resistor per LED does the trick. StarTech email support was responsive and polite, but couldn't help with my one issue (I asked if there was a jumper option to reverse the activity LED polarity). Some caveats: I found that the HDDs, even in RAID mirror mode, are formatted such that they require a StarTech card to work (they are not recognized if plugged directly into the MB); so you might want to make sure you have a spare StarTech card just in case. Also, the BIOS HDD for the StarTech card comes up as unit 0, and if you have a boot SSD drive plugged into the MB it makes Windows more difficult to work with. ... show more
