M.2 B+M Key PCIe to SATA 6G III Adapter Card - I/O Crest SI-ADA40127 ASM1061 Chipset

This adapter card allows users to convert an M.2 PCIe slot into two SATA 6Gbps ports, making it ideal for systems with limited SATA connectivity. It is particularly useful for desktop users looking to add more storage options without needing additional expansion cards. The card uses the ASM1061 chipset, which supports advanced features like Native Command Queuing and hot plugging, enhancing performance and usability. It is compatible with M.2 B+M key slots and provides a reliable way to connect SATA devices to modern motherboards that lack traditional SATA ports.

The card supports SATA signaling rates up to 6.0GHz, ensuring compatibility with both older and newer SATA drives. It also includes support for Port Multiplier, allowing multiple drives to be connected through a single port. The inclusion of a 64K Byte SPI flash enables Option Rom support, which is essential for BIOS recognition and proper system booting. This makes the adapter suitable for use in a variety of desktop environments where additional storage flexibility is needed.

Designed with a compact form factor, the card fits into standard M.2 slots and does not require extra space inside the case. Its build quality ensures durability, and the use of PCIe 2.0 interface provides stable data transfer rates. The card is easy to install and requires no special tools or software, making it accessible even for users with basic technical skills. It is a cost-effective solution for expanding storage options in systems that lack sufficient SATA ports.

The adapter is ideal for users who want to repurpose unused M.2 slots for SATA devices such as hard drives or optical drives. It can be particularly useful in older systems that do not have enough SATA ports or in newer systems where M.2 slots are primarily used for NVMe SSDs. However, it is important to note that this card does not support NVMe SSDs and is strictly for SATA devices.
