Vszerda 10 Port SATA 3.0 PCIe x1 Expansion Card ASM1166 Low Profile

SKU CH-G9SZ-1V9ZR

Adds ten SATA 3.0 devices through a single PCIe x1 slot using an ASM1166 controller with a low-profile bracket

  • Adds ten SATA 3.0 ports via PCIe x1 slot
  • ASM1166 controller with heatsink delivers 6.0 Gbps throughput
  • Works in x1, x4, x8 or x16 slots under PCIe 3.0
  • Supports Windows, Ubuntu and Linux without extra drivers
  • Hot-swap capable and backward compatible with SATA 2.0 and 1.0

10-Port SATA 3.0 Expansion Card

This Vszerda add-on card uses an ASMedia ASM1166 controller to provide ten SATA 3.0 ports through a single PCIe x1 slot. It supports data rates of 6.0 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps and is backward compatible with SATA 2.0 and 1.0 devices. A heatsink on the controller aids thermal performance during sustained operation. The card includes a low-profile bracket and ten SATA cables for immediate installation.

Suits builders adding many drives.

The card operates in non-RAID mode, making it suitable for users who need independent drive connections for JBOD, software RAID or direct passthrough configurations. It works with Windows 8, 10, Ubuntu and Linux systems. Buyers requiring hardware RAID acceleration should look elsewhere. Synology NAS owners should note the platform only recognises four attached drives. Windows 7 is not supported.

PCIe x1 interface with 10 SATA 3.0 ports

The single specification that decides fitment is the PCIe x1 edge connector, which also seats in x4, x8 and x16 slots while complying with PCIe 3.0 and 2.0 specifications. Ten native SATA 3.0 ports deliver 6.0 Gbps bandwidth per port without port multipliers. Verify the host system has a free PCIe slot and adequate power delivery for the connected drives before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Vszerda card is running at 6.0 Gbps after I install it?

Check the negotiated link speed in your operating system's disk utility or BIOS; each of the 10 ports should report 6.0 Gbps when a SATA 3.0 drive is connected.

The listing mentions 10 SATA cables and a low-profile bracket — is anything else required to connect ten drives?

The box includes the expansion card, a low-profile bracket and 10 SATA data cables; you must supply SATA power cables from your power supply for every drive.

I see only one chip version (ASM1166) and one port count (10) — how do I decide which model to buy?

This product is offered in a single configuration — 10 ports with the ASM1166 controller — so there are no alternative versions or capacities to choose between.
