Does not work
The LDLC shop in Valence was out of stock and had warned me that this product had problems working. I ordered it at my own risk and I can confirm that it does not work.
For information, I ordered an EMRICKo3G from a conqueror, no installation problems, everything is automatic without any intervention on my part.
I am keeping the card I ordered from you and hope that the information I have given you will enable you to solve the problem with this card.

Red sata cable supplied with: " attention "
Hello
I installed the card with the sata cable supplied, this cable had a problem and blocked windows.
I put another sata cable and it works fine.
This sata cable included? the cheapest and with a defect?

Good idea!
This PCI-E controller card with 2 SATA3 ports comes to our rescue because on most motherboards sold today there is a lack of SATA ports or none at all. Apparently, manufacturers consider SATA ports to be useless since mini-PCIe slots for M2 SSDs replace them and that we can do without multi-format drives since the "cloud" exists to store memories, music and everything else we own. It turns out that internal SATA3 ports are needed most of the time.

In an OMV NAS
Card used to power two disks in a PC recycled as an OMV NAS previously plugged into a USB port ...Recognized without concern by the distribution...

useful but you have to install the drivers otherwise crash
After 2 weeks of use (I plugged my old Blue Ray burner into an internal port) I had problems with Windows.
When I connected, the loader would run and then freeze. Impossible to access Windows. I also had problems reinstalling Windows, the repair discs couldn't cope.
When I removed the card: no more problems.
I put the card back in & unplugged the BR burner: no more problems.
I updated the drivers and plugged in the BR: no more problems.
Well then I removed some useless HD and plugged the BR into my motherboard...
drivers on startech website, ref PEXESAT322I

Otherwise on the external ports to copy data, no problem. Fast and efficient. With an SSD, it runs like the wind.
Be careful if you have a 5''1/4 platter drive, you have to power it with 12V. I was able to get by with an old HD to USB adapter that used a molex male plug. But there are memory card readers + expansion ports that offer molex plugs on the front.Review automatically translated -

Good product
I confirm that the ports are managed in pairs on the card. That means 1 esata with 1 sata. So you can't activate both ports of the same pair.
Possible configurations: 2 sata or 2 esata or 1sata+1esata (of different pairs) you switch with the jumpers.
Card that manages the multiply port.
For those who are interested, when you plug in a 5 bay Lian-li ex503 box, the 5 disks are seen separately in Windows.
I was not able to test if it was possible to connect two ex503 at the same time at full capacity.Review automatically translated -

Works well, but only 2 ports!
I thought the card allowed 2 external _and_ internal SATA connectors, but in fact you have to choose with jumpers if you want the internal _or_ external connector to be used.
It's a good idea to use the external connector. It works well under linux.Review automatically translated -

2 SATA ports OR 2 eSATA ports
So, 9/10 because I didn't understand that I wouldn't have 4 ports.
So, the card allows you to connect 2 SATA or 2 eSATA or one of each.
It's a bit naive on my part, one of the previous reviews that talks about jumpers should have aroused my curiosity...
I'm not sure if it's a good product or not, but it's a great product.Review automatically translated -

Fewer worries than expected
Used on a linux (ubuntu 18.10, on an old core i7), I was anticipating having to type in the kernel boot settings to get it to work (prior web search).
(iommu=pt stories)
No need!
It works fine without changing anything in the distribution.
At the other end of the cable, an Icy Dock whose two disks (on 4 slots) are very well seen (better than with usb, since I can now get the temperature of the disks).
Simple, clean, easy to set up.
I'm very happy with the way it's delivered, no worries, packaging and delivery time as usual.Review automatically translated -

A card that does its job!
Used in a tower for 2 optical drives on the 2 internal SATA ports.
Don't forget to change the jumper position (inaccessible once the card is mounted...) to enable the internal ports because the card is configured for external ports.
The only downside is that I think the protective covers for the external ports are missing when they are not used.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
I recommend it!Review automatically translated
