Review on πŸ–₯️ LTERIVER PCIE to 4-Ports SATA 3.0 Host Controller Card for Windows Server, XP, 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10 (32/64), AHCI and IDE Boot Support - 4X Max 6Gbps SATA 3.0 Non-Raid Ports (PCE-G2S4) by Robert Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for expanding the availability of SATA ports

This add-on card is great for adding four more SATA ports. I give it one star because the maximum data throughput with the PCIe 3.0 x1 interface is 1 GB/s. Adding two SATA 3 SSDs can saturate this connection at the maximum transfer rate, which means that any additional drives added will result in a decrease in the peak performance of all drives. Theoretically, four SATA 3 SSDs would be limited to 250 MB/s each. In most cases this is probably not a problem unless you are doing very large reads and writes.

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
