## Long description

The StarTech.com SATA PCIe Card 8 Port (model 8P6G-PCIE-SATA-CARD) is a PCIe x4 Gen 2 add-in card that expands a desktop or server with eight SATA III (6 Gbps) ports. The card uses two Mini-SAS connectors and includes two Mini-SAS to 4x-SATA adapter cables with locking connectors, enabling connection of up to eight SATA HDDs or SSDs. It is compatible with multiple operating systems and supports software RAID and legacy SATA/PCIe modes for broad motherboard compatibility.
Advantages
This controller integrates four 2-port SATA 6Gbps controllers and a PCIe x4 MUX to provide combined throughput and reliable performance across eight drives. The included locking Mini-SAS to 4x-SATA cables help prevent accidental disconnection inside the chassis. The card omits a hardware RAID engine to maximize compatibility with motherboards that do not support bifurcation while allowing software RAID solutions. It supports PCIe Gen 2 and SATA III standards while remaining backward compatible with SATA I/II and PCIe Gen 1 at reduced speeds.
Suitable for
Expanding storage in desktop workstations or small servers with additional SATA HDDs/SSDs
Software RAID configurations (Windows Storage Spaces, macOS RAID Assistant, Linux mdadm/mdraid)
Systems requiring a compact PCIe x4 expansion for eight SATA ports using Mini-SAS cabling
Key specifications
Interface: PCIe x4 (Gen 2)
SATA ports: 8 x SATA III (6 Gbps) via 2 x Mini-SAS connectors
Included cables: 2 x Mini-SAS to 4x-SATA adapter cables with locking connectors

Compatibility: Windows 7/8/10/11, macOS 10.10–11, Linux kernel 2.6.32+
Physical: internal card, full-profile bracket installed, low-profile bracket included; dimensions approx. 68.6 mm (W) x 150 mm (D)
Brand/Model: StarTech.com 8P6G-PCIE-SATA-CARD
How to use
Install the card into an available PCIe x4 (or larger) slot on the motherboard and secure the appropriate profile bracket for your case. Connect the included Mini-SAS to 4x-SATA adapter cables from the card’s two Mini-SAS ports to your SATA drives, ensuring the locking connectors engage. Power the drives from the system power supply using standard SATA power cables. Boot the system and configure storage in the operating system; install drivers if required by your OS and set up software RAID or partitions using the platform’s storage tools.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use the card in systems with adequate power and cooling. When using software RAID, follow the operating system vendor’s guidelines for array creation and driver updates. If motherboard bifurcation is available and you need direct controller mapping, consult the motherboard documentation to optimize lane assignments.
