## Overview

The StarTech PEXESAT322I is a dual-port PCI Express SATA III controller card delivering 6 Gbps transfer speeds. It supports 2 internal or external SATA drives via a single PCIe x1 slot, compatible with SATA I/II/III SSDs and HDDs.

## 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: Worked first time out of box - reliable ever since - No issues with this unit. I added to a mobo which only had 4 sata ports to give me another 2. I've also bought a second unit to do the same job on another machine. I didn't need the eSata though. Just remember to set it to use internal sata with the jumpers.
Review: I have a new Dell XPS 8500 and purchased this so that I could add my old hard drives. I had just purchases a Mediasonic external SATA enclosure which supported SATA I/II/III as well as USB 3.0. The external box on USB worked great, but I wanted to make sure that the drives would have the best performance especially in simultaneous access since I would be using this for a SQL Server. I decided to give ESATA a shot. I am not certain whether it is running at 3 GBS or 6, but I do know that the useful performance is better when doing simultaneous read and write operations on multiple drives than USB 3.0. In fact, I actually experience better performance on the external drives than I do with the two internal drives using the system board ATA ports. Installation was super easy. Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. Put in the card. Boot the computer to let it recognize the card. Power down and attach the external drives. Boot again and you are in business. It was only later that I installed the drivers. Windows 7 did recognize it and it worked, but it whined about not have specific drivers. I noticed no performance difference after installing the drivers, which was quite painless. The only difference is that Windows stopped complaining. I only have one box of drives connected so I cannot address the issues that others have mentioned, but I am thrilled with this and would recommend it.

## 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.
