Know your gear
Add 2 external or internal SATA 6 Gbps ports to a computer, through a PCI Express slot. The PEXESAT322I PCI Express SATA III Controller Card (6 Gbps) gives you the option to add 2 internal or external SATA ports to your computer, through a single PCI Express (x1) card slot. The card features on board jumper selection, which enables you to configure the card to provide 2 internal or external SATA III ports, or one of each, as needed.
The SATA III card features Port Multiplier (PM) support on each port, which allows multiple drives to be connected over a single cable when necessary to maximize the number of SATA device connections while reducing the amount of cabling required.
The card is fully compliant with the SATA revision 3.0 specification (up to 6 Gbps of data bandwidth), enabling you to utilize the speeds of high performance hard drives and Solid State Drives (SSD), as well as SATA-based optical drives (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, Blu-Ray).

Run this card for a few years with no problem
Card has worked well, but I suspect newer firmware and drivers are available as people having issues on Windows 11. Please update

Major Fail Windows 11
Install Drivers. On Boot BSOD, Driver signing issue. Bypass with F8. Card allowed to see multiple drives. Writing to Drives Fails. (So multiple drives appears not to Work, Driver Clearly does not work. Still looking for any Manufacture tht actually has a tested working card for Windows 11.

Works
It just works. Remember that it has on board jumbers that you need to change in order to connect disks to the inner ports.

Does not support Secure Boot ?
Windows refuses to see signed driver and BSOD - Will only work with secure boot disabled

Freezes my PC
I have a windows server 2008r2 and within 2 minutes of getting the OS started... it freezes everything and disconnects the remote connection. thought my PSU was going out but it's this card :(. No tech support online that I could find either :(

Driver doesn't work with Secure Boot
No problems with the functionality of this card. It works great, but assuming due to a driver signing issue, it doesn't work with Secure Boot. Windows 10 gives the sole culprit as the ASMedia Driver v 3.3.2.0 (asstahci64.sys) for not booting in Secure Boot mode. Would be nice to have a compatible driver for Windows 10, but especially when upgrading to Windows 11 that officially requires this feature.

Great Add on for eSATA support
Did have a problem once with driver (but not related to secureboot - using secureboot from an external drive does not make sense to me). My issue was related to switching modes as well as interface (mirrored to independent as well as eSATA to USB ) BUT Startech support was truly awesome. Certainly one of the best I have encountered. I - like others - have been using the card for some time now.
