Product Description

The PEXESAT32 2 Port PCI Express 6Gbps eSATA Controller Card offers simple connectivity between a host computer and eSATA 3.0 devices - a cost-effective solution for connecting high-speed storage, such as High RPM Hard Drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), which in turn allows for easier data backups and archiving. With full support for SATA 3.0 hard drives and data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps, the adapter card features a native PCI Express single chipset that provides enhanced compatibility, reliability and performance for external SATA 600 MB/s storage needs. The controller card is backward compatible with SATA 2.0 devices, providing the versatility to use older storage, and features support for RAID 0 and 1 modes as well as port multiplier capability with command-based and FIS-based switching for connecting multiple external hard drives to a host PC through a single external SATA connection. A dual profile solution, the eSATA controller card includes a low profile/half-height bracket for installation in slimline or small form factor computer cases.

I popped this adapter into an HP d5000t running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (recently upgraded from Vista Ultimate 64-bit). My impression was that this would auto-configure on Windows 7, without the use of the supplied driver CD. Almost. One device entry, "Marvell 91xx Config Device", failed to configure. In Device Manager, I selected the entry, chose "Update Driver Software...", popped in the installation CD and pointed the update at it. Problem solved. Since the install, I've been running a number of diagnostic and benchmarking tests on a drive mounted in a Thermaltake BlacX eSATA external "enclosure" without incident. I'm quite satisfied with the device.

Only four stars due to poor tech support.
I installed the card and checked my device manager and it showed up under other devices code 10 needing a driver. I downloaded the driver and tryed everything I could imagine to get this devide to work. Used the CD as mentioned in an earlier post and nothing I did could get this driver to install. I called tech support he had me try a couple of things then told me it was defective and return it to the seller for a replacement. Well I read the item specifications again. Supported by WIN7 no additional drivers needed. So I hooked the thing up to my StarTech four drive enclosure, changed the settings from USB to ESATA on the enclosure and it was working. The port multipler was working all of the drives where there and I transfered a few files. Everything was great. I went back to device manager and disabled the device with the driver needed. The card is still working great. I believe that it is wanting me to install drivers for a... Read more

Came with a CD but didn't need it for Windows 7. Plugged it in and was copying files within minutes. Haven't been able to test the transfer rates it claims to be capable of because the devices I have are too slow. Overall, I'm very satisfied and would buy another.
