SilverStone Technology ECS07 5-Port SATA Gen3 6Gbps Non-RAID M.2 PCIe Storage Expansion Card, SST-ECS07

Works perfectly to increase number of drives

WARNING: towards the end of this review i list a really troubling concern about other products that are suppose to do what this one does. please be sure to read it!u may have heard that many of the newest motherboards don't always work well with the pice sata expansion cards. that was certainly my experience with my asus x670e-e motherboard. mobo manufacturers have also decided to limit the number of sata ports their boards offer to only their more expensive boards. well, this little product is the answer to all of those problems. it is truly plug and play for windows 10 and 11. i haven't tested it on 7 but i'd guess it works on that too. there are no drivers that need downloading and no changes that need to be made in your bios, as long as u have not disabled any of your m.2 slots. i recommend putting this into one of your gen 4 m.2 slots so that u don't chance making your gpu run in x8 mode. WARNING: there are other much cheaper versions of a product similar to this one that are suppose to do the same thing but i read too many reviews of it failing and burning out that m.2 slot on the motherboard. so i went with this expensive one. i would advise everyone else to do the same. i have tested my hard drives with them connected through this device and with them connected to the motherboards native ports and i have seen no speed difference in crystal disk mark. so, i highly recommend this product. i have read some complaints about how the blue leds are too bright on this product. i keep my pc where i can not see them and it will eventually have solid side panels on it when i get finished with it. so i can not speak to that issue but, it is something to keep in mind.

An sich eine gute Idee aber schlecht umgesetzt.Das Teil wird im Betrieb so heiß dass man Angst haben muss, dass der PC abfackelt.Des weiteren werden die Festplatten nicht wie interne Festplatten erkannt sondern wie externe Festplatten.Im Benchmark durchaus solide Geschwindigkeit aber ich habe nur 2 Festplatten getestet, ich bezweifele dass man 5 Festplatten gleichzeitig mit vernünftiger Geschwindigkeit betreiben kann ohne das das Teil abraucht. Habe es zurückgeschickt und mich hierfür entschieden: MZHOU PCIe SATA X4 Karte 6 Port Erweiterungskarte, ASM1166 6-Port-Chip,Unterstützt 6 SATA 3.0 Geräte Integrierter Adapterkonverter für Desktop-PC (hier werden die Festplatten nun wie echte interne Festplatten angezeigt und das Teil wird auch nicht so heiß)

I am growing increasingly annoyed with the lack of SATA ports on modern motherboards. Some x670 motherboards only have TWO for christs sakes!Additionally, with large graphics cards, mainstream motherboards often have most of their pcie slots blocked, so you can’t go the old SAS card route, either.I did not know adapters like these existed, of course I bought two for the coming SATApolcalpyse. They work great, plug and play, no issues at all. All 5 drives show up and format/read/write perfectly.My only problem with them are the super bright blue leds that indicate the ports are working/used. Gonna tape over them with electrical tape. Other than that these are incredible.Silverstone is looking out for file copying enthusiasts like me.

Der Rechner hat nicht mehr gebootet, sollte auf dem dritten M.2 Steckplatz genutzt werden (Asus Prime Z790-P D4, LGA 1700 Sockel)
