Four-port SATA III RAID card

The StarTech PEXSAT34RH adds four internal SATA III 6.0 Gbps ports through a PCI Express 2.0 x2 slot. It uses the Marvell 88SE9230 chipset and supports RAID 0, 1, 10 and JBOD modes. A low-profile bracket is included for small-form-factor systems.

Desktop builders adding bulk storage

The card suits Windows XP through 8, Mac OS 10.6 to 10.8 and Linux users who need extra SATA ports for hard drives or SATA SSDs. Builders requiring more than four ports, a different PCIe generation or an interface other than SATA will not be served by this product.

PCI Express 2.0 x2 interface

The controller connects via a PCIe 2.0 x2 link, which sets the maximum bus bandwidth available to the four SATA III ports. Verify that the motherboard has a compatible x2 or larger slot before purchase.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express slot version and width does the PEXSAT34RH need to operate?

The card installs in a PCI Express 2.0 x2 slot and provides four SATA III 6.0 Gbps ports.

Can the Marvell 88SE9230 controller run alongside an existing SATA II host controller without conflict?

Yes, the add-in card operates independently on the PCIe bus, so older SATA II ports on the motherboard remain active.

How can I verify the HyperDuo tiering feature is active after installing the driver?

Open the RAID management utility in Windows, macOS 10.6 through 10.8, or Linux; it will display the SSD and HDD paired as a single HyperDuo volume.
