4P-SATA-M2-ADAPTER | Startech 4-Port M.2 to SATA Adapter Card, M.2 PCIe 3.0 to SATA

Expand Desktop Storage Through a Single M.2 Slot

The StarTech 4-Port M.2 to SATA Adapter Card lets you add up to four separate SATA hard drives or SSDs through one 2280 M.2 PCIe 3.0 slot. It is a practical way to increase storage without replacing your motherboard or relying on slower external options. Each connected drive can operate at SATA 6Gbps speeds, making this card a useful choice for systems that need more internal storage capacity for files, backups, or multi-drive setups.

Built for Extra Drives, Backups, and Storage-Focused Systems

This adapter is useful in desktop PCs, custom workstations, and compatible external enclosures that have a PCIe-based M.2 slot available. It suits users who want to add several SATA SSDs or HDDs for bulk storage, media libraries, file archiving, or backup targets. It can also fit NAS-style builds and software-managed storage setups, including environments that use storage pooling tools such as Microsoft Storage Spaces.

Useful for Creators, Home Users, and Storage Upgrades

This card is a strong fit for photographers, videographers, content creators, and home users who need more room for large files but do not want to move to a full platform upgrade. It is also useful for IT users and system builders who want a simple way to add multiple SATA drives to modern Intel or AMD systems. Four 50cm SATA cables are included, which helps speed up installation and makes drive connection more convenient.

Reliable Compatibility and Core SATA Features

The adapter uses the ASMedia ASM1064 chipset and supports SATA I, II, and III devices. It also supports TRIM, SMART data pass-through, and broad operating system compatibility, with driver auto-install support in most major versions of Windows 8 and later, macOS, and Linux. This makes it a flexible option for users who want a straightforward internal storage expansion card that works across a wide range of systems.

Add up to four independent SATA drives to a desktop via a single 2280 M.2 drive slot, maintaining SATA 6Gbps read/write speeds per drive.

Cost-Effective Storage Expansion

This setup can be used with modern motherboards or external enclosures that feature a PCIe-based M.2 slot, allowing for a cost-effective expansion of storage capabilities. Four 19.6-inch (50cm) SATA cables are included to connect the HDDs or SSDs for quick installation.

Compatibility

The drivers auto-install in most major operating systems, including Windows 8 and later, macOS, and Linux. This adapter card is compatible with all hardware platforms, such as Intel and AMD, and supports software storage management, including Microsoft's Storage Spaces.

Applications

This storage expansion card is ideal for data storage, backups, NAS setups, photographers, videographers, and content creation, where large storage capacity and reliability is required.
