PCI Express SATA III Adapter 6Gbps- 4 SATA+2 eSATA Ports

This board is a single-chip, PCI Express to four SATA Gen III 6Gb/s channels host controller that brings server-class features to the desktop.
This board enables the use of the industry+s newest and fastest hard drives at 6Gb/s while providing
backward compatibility to legacy SATA 1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s drives. It uses the same cable and connectors
as previous SATA generations to ease integration. Besides, PCI Express 2.0 double the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express bus for faster data throughput.
