## Overview

The PEXESAT322I is a professional-grade 2-port PCIe SATA III controller card featuring the ASM1061 chipset, delivering dual 6Gbps SATA/eSATA ports with Port Multiplier support. Compatible with Windows and SATA SSDs/HDDs, it installs easily in any PCIe slot size and comes with full/low-profile brackets and a SATA cable. Designed for IT pros, it offers reliable, high-speed storage expansion backed by a 2-year warranty and expert tech support.

## Description

The PEXESAT322I PCI Express SATA III Controller Card (6 Gbps) gives you the option to add 2 internal or external SATA ports to your computer, through a single PCI Express (x1) card slot. The card features on board jumper selection, which enables you to configure the card to provide 2 internal or external SATA III ports, or one of each, as needed. The SATA III card features Port Multiplier (PM) support on each port, which allows multiple drives to be connected over a single cable when necessary to maximize the number of SATA device connections while reducing the amount of cabling required. The card is fully compliant with the SATA revision 3.0 specification (up to 6Gbps of data bandwidth), enabling you to utilize the speeds of high performance hard drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), as well as SATA-based optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Blu-Ray)..

Review: Good product - I used this to hook up two external SATA drive enclosures to my new computer. The card fit perfectly in my computer. I installed it and plugged in my drives and started up my machine. I then installed the latest driver from the startech.com site (nice site, BTW). Some of my drives were not recognized. I had to go into Windows Disk Management, where they were listed as Foreign Disks. Once they were "imported" Windows read the disks just fine. Everything seemed to work fine. But then, after working on the computer for about 15 minutes, got a blue screen of death. The error shown as DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. After rebooting, got another BSOD, and another, and another. Every 15 minutes or so. This on a brand new computer. So I figured it must have something to do with the card since that was the only thing I had changed about the computer. I decided to walk it backwards one step at a time. I didn't want to uninstall the whole thing and start all over. So I went to the driver in Device Manger and just disabled it, then rebooted. Hmm, no more BSOD! What happens if I re-enable the driver now. Will the BSOD come back? It did not. So it seems like disable/enable the driver solved the issue. In retrospect, I should have installed the card, turned on the computer, installed the driver, then reboot. Then, shut down the computer, hook up the drives, and turn the computer on. I did these two steps as one. I highly recommend that you take it one small step at a time. Easier to sleuth problems that way. Other than that, this card has worked perfectly.
Review: Supports PMP on *both* eSATA ports! - This is one of the few eSATA cards I have been able to find that supports having multi-bay eSATA docks connected to *both* eSATA ports simultaneously. These docks use SATA port multipliers (PMPs), and most motherboard chipsets do not support the PMP functionality well, even if they support eSATA. Even a lot of generic PCIe eSATA cards using this same Asmedia 1061 chipset don't always work well with PMPs, especially multiple ones attached to the same card. But this card works great! It's a little pricey compared to the generic alternatives, but worth every penny when you consider that it's a component that *needs* to be reliable. I am using it with a pair of Startech's SDOCK2U33RE dual-bay duplicator docks under Debian Linux 13, and it performs flawlessly. Seems to have no problem with big SATA disks (tested with disks up to 18 TB). You'll want to ensure the kernel limits the speed of the SATA link to 3.0 G, especially if you are using longer eSATA cables, like I am. But this combination is working flawlessly and I highly recommend this eSATA card.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I hook my boot drive to this card?**
A: First I booted up with the empty card. after windows installed it, I shut my computer down and pluged in my ssd drive. then started up in cmos, to see if it was their, it was. Every thing booted fine. So i ran a speed test and found that it ran 60% slower than my 1.5 onboard sata. Even though it showed as a 6g it does not have the speed. So i now use it for my cd rom. I there is some settings i missed, sure would like to know.

**Q: Can I use this as a boot drive?**
A: If your motherboard has UEFI Firmware with NVMe support then yes you can boot a compatible OS like Windows 8.1/10 64bit or a modern Linux.From Startechs Websitehttps://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_m2_u2_boot_an_os#PEX4M2E1https://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_m2_u2_compatibility#PEX4M2E1https://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_m2_compatibility_no_sata#PEX4M2E1The following article also gives a good overview of the requirementshttps://tinkertry.com/how-to-boot-win10-from-samsung-950-pro-nvme-on-superserver

**Q: SATA ignoramus question. I assumed the two slots were standard USB. But I can't seem to wiggle any USB device plugs into the slots. Standard slots?**
A: Sorry, the two slots are NOT standard USB slots.  Although, they may look similar they are not.  They are both eSATA ports, a kind of USB hybrid.  Used to connect external drives.  They are faster than USB or the older fire-wire.  Look for an external hard drive that uses eSATA.  For speed, eSATA is a huge jump over USB. It can be as fast as adding a hard drive straight into your computer.

**Q: Will this work on dell r720 with vmware 6.5.x??**
A: The NVMe adapter works fine on a Dell R720 with VMware 7.0 installed.
