Compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and NAS, it supports software RAID and features 6 LED indicators for real-time drive monitoring. With PCIe 3.0 x2 interface delivering up to 16GT/s and 277MB/s per port, it ensures swift data transfers. Easy plug-and-play installation fits standard PCIe slots, making it an ideal upgrade for demanding storage needs. ## Description Turn One PCIe Slot into Six SATA III Drives The GLOTRENDS SA3026C is a 6-port PCIe SATA expansion card built on the ASM1166 controller. It plugs into any PCIe X4, X8 or X16 slot and gives your computer six extra SATA III ports at 6Gbps, so you can run six hard drives or SSDs together without replacing your motherboard. Built for Storage Pools and Software RAID Six drives in one card is enough to build a real storage pool: unRAID, TrueNAS, ZFS, Proxmox, OpenMediaVault, or Windows Storage Spaces. The card passes every drive straight through to the operating system, which is exactly what software RAID needs. It does not perform hardware RAID. Speed Where It Matters The upstream link is PCIe 3.0 X2 running at 16GT/s, and each downstream SATA port reaches up to 277MB/s. Multi-drive transfers, media libraries and nightly backup jobs run at full drive speed, with no bottleneck between the drives and the CPU. Compatibility and Setup No driver installation is required. The card works out of the box with Windows (except XP), Mac OS, Linux and NAS systems. Two things to know before you start: set the SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS or UEFI, and note that this card is a data storage HBA, so it does not boot an operating system from a connected drive. Monitor Every Drive Without Opening the Case Six built-in LEDs sit next to the ports. A steady red LED means the drive is powered; a flashing LED means it is reading or writing. You can see the health and activity of all six drives at a glance. ## Features - 6-PORT SATA EXPANSION CARD: Adds 6 SATA III (6Gbps) drives to your desktop at once, turning one PCIe x4 slot into a 6-bay storage pool for unRAID, TrueNAS, ZFS, Proxmox or Windows Storage Spaces software RAID. Hardware RAID is not supported. - 277MB/S ON EVERY PORT: PCIe 3.0 X2 upstream runs at 16GT/s, and each of the 6 SATA ports delivers up to 277MB/s, so large multi-drive transfers, media libraries and backup jobs finish fast with no bottleneck. - NO DRIVER, WIDE COMPATIBILITY: Plug and play on Windows (except XP), Mac OS, Linux and NAS systems. Set SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS or UEFI before first install. This is a data storage HBA and does not boot an operating system. - 6 BUILT-IN LED INDICATORS: A steady red LED means the drive is powered, a flashing LED means it is reading or writing, so you can check every SATA drive at a glance without opening the case. - FITS X4/X8/X16 SLOTS, FULL KIT INCLUDED: Both a 12cm regular and an 8cm low-profile bracket for any PC or NAS case. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DXPCGWTC | | Brand Name | GLOTRENDS | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, NAS System | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (13) | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express x4 | | Item Highlight | PCIe 3.0 x2 bus (PCIe x4 Physical Interface), 277MB/s per port, NAS & PC builds | | Manufacturer | glotrends | | Model Number | SA3026 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | Windows, Mac OS, Linux | | Style Name | standard | ## Product Details - **Brand:** GLOTRENDS - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop, NAS System - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express x4 - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Style:** standard ## Images ![GLOTRENDS SA3026C 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card, SATA III 6Gbps, ASM1166 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41n40Ua0QRL.jpg) ![GLOTRENDS SA3026C 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card, SATA III 6Gbps, ASM1166 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mUoHa8n6L.jpg) ![GLOTRENDS SA3026C 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card, SATA III 6Gbps, ASM1166 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41t30Ib5gQL.jpg) ![GLOTRENDS SA3026C 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card, SATA III 6Gbps, ASM1166 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+VMODyXwL.jpg) ![GLOTRENDS SA3026C 6 Port PCIe SATA Expansion Card, SATA III 6Gbps, ASM1166 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418-OZ2UvIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it support OS boot?** A: No **Q: How to Locate and Set SATA Mode to AHCI in BIOS or UEFI?** A: Enter BIOS / UEFI --- Advanced Mode --- SATA Mode: AHCI. (Note: set AHCI first then install Windows. If Windows has already been installed under IDE/RAID/VMD mode, directly switching SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS will trigger blue screen crash. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/739298119-glotrends-sa3026c-6-port-pcie-sata-expansion-card-sata-iii](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/739298119-glotrends-sa3026c-6-port-pcie-sata-expansion-card-sata-iii) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
