InLine Mini-PCIe 2.0-kaart 2x SATA 6Gb/s RAID 0 / 1 / SPAN

Mini-PCIe 2.0 card with two L-shape SATA 6Gb/s connectors that provides RAID 0, RAID 1 and SPAN (JBOD) functionality. The InLine Mini-PCIe 2.0 Card expands a compatible Mini PCI Express slot with two internal SATA ports, enabling connection of additional drives and improving storage flexibility. Note: the delivery manual refers to an unrelated site called 'Drivers-Download' which is being misused for phishing; do not use that website.

Advantages

The card supports hardware-level connection of two internal SATA drives at up to 6 Gbit/s per port and offers RAID modes 0 and 1 plus SPAN for capacity aggregation. It fits a Mini PCI Express 2.0 slot, has a compact silver design and is compatible with common Windows systems. The small footprint makes it suitable for space-constrained systems such as small form-factor PCs and embedded devices.

Suitable for

• Adding two internal SATA drives to a Mini PCIe-equipped motherboard
• Setting up RAID 0 for improved sequential performance
• Setting up RAID 1 for data redundancy
• Using SPAN/JBOD to combine drive capacities

How to use

Install the card into an available Mini PCI Express 2.0 slot on the host device and secure it according to the host board instructions. Connect internal SATA cables from the card's L-shape SATA ports to the internal drives. After hardware installation, boot the system and install the appropriate driver for your operating system. Configure the desired RAID mode (0, 1 or SPAN) using the driver software or the host system's RAID configuration utility.

Recommendations

Do not follow instructions pointing to the 'Drivers-Download' website stated in the printed manual; that site is unrelated to the manufacturer and is being misused for phishing. Obtain drivers only from the official manufacturer or trusted sources. Ensure backups before configuring RAID, and verify compatibility with your Mini PCIe slot and operating system.
