Massive Storage Expansion

The GLOTRENDS SA3026 adds six SATA III ports to a desktop through a PCIe 3.0 X2 upstream link. It connects up to six hard drives or solid-state drives at once, making it a practical choice for building a large storage pool or configuring software RAID on Windows, Mac OS, Linux or NAS platforms.

Builders needing six drives.

This card suits anyone who wants to run six SATA devices simultaneously without a hardware RAID controller. It operates in AHCI mode only and does not support OS boot from the attached drives. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration or the ability to start the operating system from a drive on this card should look at a different solution.

PCIe 3.0 X2 upstream bandwidth

The ASM1166 controller provides a PCIe 3.0 X2 upstream connection rated at 16 GT/s, while each of the six downstream SATA ports can reach 277 MB/s. That upstream ceiling is the single figure that determines whether the card can sustain the aggregate throughput your workload demands.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the card is running at full speed after installing it in my PCIe 3.0 X2 slot?

The controller is the ASM1166. Each of the 6 SATA III ports can reach 277 MB/s maximum bandwidth, and the upstream link runs at 16 GT/s.

Which cables and brackets are included with the SA3026 so I know what extra parts to order?

The box contains 6 SATA III cables (350 mm / 13.5 in), a 1:5 SATA power splitter cable, and both 12 cm regular and 8 cm low-profile brackets.

Should I choose the X4 physical version or is there a different lane-count option for this model?

The SA3026 uses a PCIe X4 physical connector but operates electrically at PCIe 3.0 X2; no other lane-count variant is offered for this model.
