GLOTRENDS SA3026 6-Port PCIe X4 SATA Expansion Card, Compatible with Windows,Linux,Mac OS,NAS

Perfetto funziona, fa il suo dovere.

Funktioniert einwandfrei, auch ASPM lässt sich aktivieren und die Karte geht in niedrige C-States

Works well. Got the 4 port SA3234 using the ASM1164 chip and PCIe x4 interface (actually only uses x2). Tested it out with some SATA SSDs and got their full rated 550MB/s from them individually and 1.6GB/s simultaneously (as advertised). The card is about 40cm from the front cooling fans but the PCB heatsink shows 44 degC under load, so it looks like its up the the job. Plug and play drivers were in Linux, no setup required. Looks like my home NAS just grew 4 more ports.

The GLOTRENDS SA3026 is an excellent choice for anyone who needs to quickly and easily add a substantial number of drives to a home server or workstation. I tested this card in an unRAID setup, and the plug-and-play compatibility was perfect, immediately recognizing all six attached drives in my Linux environment without having to hunt for a driver—a huge time-saver that validates the marketing claim. The build quality feels solid, and the inclusion of six SATA data cables along with the 1:5 SATA power splitter cable means the kit is genuinely complete right out of the box, letting you drop it into a free X4 slot and start wiring up drives immediately. The onboard LED indicators are a subtle but useful feature, giving me a quick visual confirmation of data activity on each drive. The card’s only genuine caveat is its PCIe 3.0 X2 total bandwidth, a specification they are transparent about. While each individual SATA port is rated for 6Gbps (SATA III), all six ports share a total bandwidth of 16Gbps (∼2GB/s). This means that if you're loading up the card with six high-speed SSDs and running simultaneous benchmark tests, you won't get full 6Gbps performance on every drive. However, for its primary use—expanding storage for slower traditional hard drives, media pooling, or archival where capacity is the goal—this bandwidth is more than sufficient. Just be aware that because it does not support OS booting, this card is strictly for bulk data drives, not your main system drive. The fit is great. The price is a real plus too.

Cette carte PCIe interface x4 tient ses promesses avec des débits pouvant aller jusqu'à 500 mb/s en lecture et 450 mb/s en écriture dans le cas d'un disque en fonctionnement. Les tests dans le cas de deux disques fonctionnant simultanément affichent des débits de 400 mb/s. Ces tests ont été réalisés sur un Mac Pro 5.1 mid 2010.
