I had high hopes for the YABOANG PCIe 1X SATA Card given its advertised features and the inclusion of 10 SATA ports. However, this product turned out to be a complete waste of time and money. Here are the key issues I faced: 1. Does Not Work Under Linux (Unraid): Despite numerous attempts, the card is completely unstable on Linux. Constant disconnects make it unusable for any serious setup. 2. Unreliable on Windows: The same disconnecting issues persist on Windows, regardless of drivers or system configurations. It fails to maintain a stable connection with attached drives. 3. False Promises: The product claims to support 10 SATA 3.0 devices, but what’s the point if it can’t handle even basic functionality? 4. Wasted Effort: I spent hours troubleshooting, installing updates, and testing configurations, all to no avail. This product was an exercise in frustration.In summary, this SATA expansion card is poorly designed and completely unreliable. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a better-quality card from a trusted brand. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, especially for critical setups.

Verwende die Karte in meinem Homelab. Sechs 18TB HDDs, vier 20TB HDDs und vier SSDs habe ich aktuell dran. Seit mehreren Wochen im Dauerbetrieb bis dato ohne jegliche Probleme.

The 16 port PCI-E SATA card is an interesting device for expanding storage capabilities on a PC. The installation is easy, and the card works well with various PCI-E slots, providing good compatibility. It offers 6Gbit/s SATA 3.0 speeds, which is adequate for most applications. However, when multiple drives are attached simultaneously there is a drop in speed. While it can handle single or a few drives efficiently, connecting more than a few tends to slow down the data transfer rates, which is to be expected from a card connected to a PCI-E x1 slot. The build quality is good and it functions well, but I suggest it shouldn't be used to attach a system boot drive to it. It's very good for connecting multiple storage drives for file keeping, which won't be needed for simultaneous fast access. The card comes in a small carton box, which protects it well during transport. Great device!

Was able to add my drives just fine. Nice and fast.

I imagine that if you're looking to install this expansion card, you probably know exactly what it's for.My use case was to stuff a couple of extra hard drives into a media server box. The motherboard in that machine disables two of the onboard SATA ports if you use the M.2 slot, so this card gained me back the two that I lost because of that.Properly plug-and-play, Windows 10 picked it right up without any driver shenanigans, and the one hard drive I connected to it showed up immediately in the Disk Management console.It's a pretty basic tool for a basic job, but it seems to do that job exactly as expected.

This card works and does what it says it will, but I wonder what the goal of it is. Computers are moving away from SATA, but the vast majority of motherboards still have SATA ports.This controller only has two ports, so it doesn't seem to be targeted towards building a NAS...Sure its SATA 3 (6Gbps), but if using it to upgrade the SATA ports on an older computer you will be limited in speed by the PCI-E bus...If you computer is so old that it doesn't have SATA ports, this probably isn't going to help there wither as such a machine likely also doesn't have PCI-E slots...I do want to point out an error in one of the product pictures as of my review. The second picture refers to this as SATA 3.0 as 6 Gbp/s which is correct, but it compares it to "SATA 2.0" at "480mbp/s" which is incorrect. SATA II (SATA 2) is 3Gbps (half the speed of SATA 3, not less than 10% the speed). Where they got this number is from USB 2.0, a completely separate technology from SATA.In the end it has its uses, but they are very niche. Its not worth buying as an upgrade, but can be useful if you have some unusual specific use.
