StarTech.com M.2 RAID Controller Card PCIe

Product Description

Add two Next Generation Form Factor M.2 SSDs & two SATA ports to your computer through PCI Express. This M.2 SSD RAID controller card lets you install two M.2 NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) drives in your desktop computer. The card also features two SATA III (6 Gbps) ports & supports hardware RAID. Now, you can merge the speed & compact size of M.2 solid state drives (SSD) with the storage capacity of traditional hard disk drives (HDD). This M.2 controller card lets you take advantage of the size & performance benefits of NGFF SSDs. M.2 drives are smaller than typical platter drives or m SATA-based SSDs, so you can install them in small form-factor PCs & servers, or in tighter areas within your computer case. When you couple the card with an M.2 drive, you can give your computer's performance a noticeable speed boost. By installing your operating system on the M.2 drive, you'll have faster access to the files you commonly use, & you can continue to use your higher-capacity platter HDD for bulk storage. Due to their performance & size advantages, M.2 drives are commonly used in laptops. If your laptop has failed but its M.2 drive is functional, then this card can help with data recovery. Once the M.2 drive is installed & the data recovery is complete, you can continue to use the drive for storage & backup purposes. If you need a scalable, internal storage solution that you can count on, then this card can help. It supports a range of RAID configurations (RAID 0, 1, & 10), giving you multiple ways to expand your storage, improve your computer's performance, or to create data redundancy backups. Because the M.2 card supports port multiplication, you can connect up to four drives to one of the card's SATA ports. With a built-in port multiplier, you can install up to seven drives (two M.2 SSDs, five SATA drives) in your computer through this single drive controller. You can rest assured that your M.2 SATA drives are compatible with
