Pros

Sata controller comes with a mini cd with the drivers. After installing the driver, all 8 drives are recognized correctly. If ur having issues with it recognizing more than 3 drives, u need to install the drivers correctly. Go into device manager and ... Read More

Comes with eight good quality long (20 inch plus) sata cables with flat connectors and metal clips. Gb/s works just fine for game instalations. Comes with 8 sata cables that have locking clips on both ends. And the pcb is black, looks nice too.

Highlights

Quality

Super easy to install and it comes with the additional power cable adapters which was very useful.

With the card i was able to add an additional 4 hard drives that work flawlessly.

Price

Truly plug n play and great price.

Competitiveness

2x2 card and now i have 15 drives with a mixed of nvme, sata ssd, and hdd running perfectly.

My board when using two nvme drives in the two m.

I transferred around 4tb of data into the server and not a single hiccup.

And 1 small ssd drive 240gb freenas system and it booted strait up.
