I/O & Storage Controllers

This half size 2 port Mini PCI-Express to SATA III Controller Cards allows you to add 2 SATAIII connections to a small form factor system. This is a great way to upgrade or expand the capabilities of your current system. This controllers is compatible with Serial ATA devices. This controller can utilize built in RAID support for RAID 0, 1, & Span.

The IO Crest full height MiniPCIE to SATA III 2 ports card (SI-MPE40160 ) is the easiest way to update any computer with SATA ports with a free M.2 A+E Key 2230 mm slot. Once installed, this host card will add SATA ports with two independent channels. This allows support of two SATA devices at speeds of up to 6Gb/s whether it is a SATA hard drive or SATA device.

Using the JMB582 chipset, theSI-MPE40160 can provide a maxium sequencial Read / Write Speed of 850 MB/s to 2 SATA 6Gb/s ports. For the storage solution based on data transfer of multiple hard drives, the newly added FIS-based switching design can overcome the bottlenecks created by operating multiple SATA storage devices simultaneously.

It integrates six independent SATA channels, and a micro-processor. With proper setting the chip can be configured as a 1 to 5-ports SATA II Port Multiplier, or a 5 to 1-port SATA II Port Selector. Based on JMB321 single chip. JMB321 contains 15 GPIOs which can be configured as various standard interfaces. It also has the capability to load external firmware code to extend its functionality.

Based on WCH382l chipset, which adds a legacy Parallel port to computer for external peripheral device such as printer, and industrial automation applications, which keeps old printer running.

Easily add 2 Serial ports to full tower computer case or 1 port to slim server chassis
