PCIE SATA Expansion Card 2 Port PCIE to SATA Card 6Gbps SATA 3.0 Controller PCI Express X1 Expansion Card with Low Profile Bracket for Desktop PC Support SSD HDD

I'm getting ready to repurpose an HP T620 Plus thin client for use as a Home Assistant server. Instead of using the internal 16GB ssd I wanted to add a spare 120GB Sata drive that I have. I'm happy to say that after switching in the low profile bracket, it installed inside the T620 without issue. It's working great with my SSD now! Hard to beat for $12!

Plug and play worked great now I can have 6 drives on my PC.

Bought this to hookup my built in DVD burner in my optiplex 3020 because the PC only came with three SATA ports. Can boot off of burnt DVD no problem.

Fast and easy to set up. I can't boot from it however.

Really not much to say. It's a solid feeling little card that added some much needed SATA ports to my motherboard and it was as plug-n-play of an operation as could be. Windows immediately detected the 2 new HDDs as part of my media storage pool and I was off and running. An elegant and satisfying solution. The odd thing that did happen was the connected HDDs showed as removable drives in Windows, and, if this happens, just Google, "How to fix Windows 10 Issue that displays internal SATA connected SSD/HDD as removable YouTube". This should be the top search result and is a great tutorial to fix the issue.

Good function, good value. A previous adapter failed when B760 MOBO BIOS was updated to 1825. This Eluteng PCI-E to SATA 4-port card functioned perfectly plug-and-play.

It does the job. I have 2 HDDs connected to this card, there was no issue getting this card to work to add more SATA. However, I spent hours on trying to get this card to not have both drives not show up as portable/removable devices. From registry edits, drivers, and even checked BIOS. I know this won't show up in BIOS, but I checked anyway. My only concern is accidentally ejecting one or both drives. I have done this once since I've had it. Unless there is a very specific driver I need to use, these drive will show up as removable when then shouldn't. I even edited the .ini file for the driver meant for this. I must be either forgetting something or this is just how this is. This card is being used with Win11 Pro. So, I do have access to gpedit, but then I'd have to enable and disable whenever I need to make changes whenever an actual removable drive is needed.

I had to buy external controller because the one on my mainboard started giving me errors. This little card just does its job flawlessly. Boot settings are done via physical switch - you can select ACPI, IDE or no-boot modes. Installs and boots Ubuntu in ACPI mode without any problems. The only one flaw I'm seeing is the length of its POST (it's a separate screen before mainboard POST). It adds several seconds to the boot process. Otherwise, it's great and BIOS correctly detects boot drives.

Works as expected. It does support booting windows from the controller - contrary to someone else’s experience. I got this as the onboard sata was acting funny in my very old system. Does not come with sata cables (power or data)
