Review on πŸ”Œ SATA Controller PCI Express Card - 4 Port with Cables, Low Profile Bracket Included - Supports 4 SATA 3.0 Devices at 6 Gbps by David Golden

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good. Compact. Linux plug and play.

Bought to build a Linux system (Mint 19.2, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, Asrock B450M Pro4). I wanted to add SATA ports for Esata and DVD (to avoid interception of M/B ports). Plug and play with BIOS 3.50 and run like a champ (even boot from) DVD. Worked with Esata Drive Enclosure to diagnose hard drives. I also bought a similar SHINESTAR product. It turns out that the cards look the same. It wasn't necessary, so I didn't check that. It's good when everything just works. Many thanks to the engineers (especially for the Linux compatibility).

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some flaws
