MZHOU 6PACK PCI-E 1X to 16X Riser Card with 7 PCI-E 1X Plug-in Card, Adapter Card for Bitcoin Crypto Mining Ethereum Mining （Black-6 Pack）

As described

Purchased February 2024This is exactly what I needed for updating my media streaming server.I needed to replace 4 4TB drives in an external eSATA housing with higher capacity drives, but the housing didn't support the larger drives. The onboard SATA performance was terrible so needed a solution fast.Fitting was snug between 2 video cards but there's no risk of shorting and it doesn't affect airflow to the video card above.OS hung at first so I did a full power down/up and OS came up - No Errors. I already had the latest Marvell drivers to support the previous controller for external housing.Powered down, plugged in the drives, power up - YATTA!

I have had no problems with this item. You install it correctly it will work. Would buy again...

I recently purchased a newer motherboard for my main home PC ( X670E PG lighting ) but wanted some more SATA ports than came on it, only 4. Also I wanted to to speed up my various disk access speeds for video editing. My C: drive is a NMVe PCIe 4 (will move to PCIe 5 in a couple of yrs when costs drop). Used for Video Editing; 5 cameras and I do up to 2 hour videos - after all editing is done. I now have a SW RAID 0 HDD for raw video and a seperate SW RAID 0 SSD for a working output drive. This Card worked perfect, P&P no drivers needed, only needs a PCIe 3.0 X1 slot for max speed of 1GB/s (mine is in a PCIe 4.0 x1 - as PCIe is backward compatible). The RAID 0 nearly doubles the SATA III disk access, needed now that I have a Ryzen 5 CPU with 32GB 6200 DDR5 Ram. Video editing is much quicker than my old MB with 8300FX 8 core & 16 GB DDR3. The card does not provide any RAID features, it only adds up to 8 ports SATA III, but Windows 11 fully supports its own SW RAID and is super simple to implement in " Disk Management" - and I also put my Swap file on my RAID drives. You can get your hands on USED 1 or 2 TB 7200 HDDs now for super cheap and also USED SSD's. Also you can SW RAID up to 8 SSDs/HDDs per assigned disk through this Card, modern chip ASM1166 and the card is available in a PCIe 3.0 x 2 for double buss access Bandwidth.

Was able to use the kit with a different NGFF PCIe slot adapter, then this kit's included 1x card. Using the NGFF that came with this kit caused the system to turn itself on and not work.

Added to my m.2, using its in a multi gpu setup for video editing however if you have an m.2 I’m guessing you can add an egpu principle is same and I guess that’s what I did and it worked for me - 2 NVIDIA cards and a amd 5500xt on the above product in one desktop
