Introduction

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 congure
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 specication (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).

The PEXESAT322I SATA III Controller card is backed by our 2-year manufacturer
warranty and free lifetime technical support.
