The ASM1061 PCI Express is a single-chip SATA expansion card from PCI Express to a host controller with 2 SATA Gen III 6Gb/s lanes, providing server-class functionality for desktop PCs. ASM1061 PCI Express SATA-3 expansion card, can use the industry's fastest 6Gb/s hard drive. Also, backward compatible with legacy SATA 1.5Gb/s or SATA 3Gb/s drives. It uses the same cables and connectors as previous generations of SATA to simplify integration. In addition, PCI Express 2.0 has twice the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express bus, enabling faster data throughput. It will enhance system performance for every type of computer user. Each PCI Express 2.0 lane provides up to 500MB/s throughput. It is also backward compatible with the previous generation of PCI Express 1.0 technology.

Application Notes:

• 1. Use with SATA3.0 data cable to achieve ideal results.
• 2. PCI Express requires a slot above V2.0. If V1.0 is used, the speed will not exceed 250M. Whether PCI Express is X1 or X16, as long as it is V2.0, it can be directly inserted into the X16 slot if there is a spare X16 slot. superior.
• 3. After inserting the card, you can see it. Gen1 means working in 1.0 mode, Gen2 means 2.0 mode.
• 4. Motherboard BOIS setting: SATA mode should be changed to AHCI. Although some motherboards PCI-E is version 2.0, BOIS does not enable high-speed transmission mode (Gen2 high speed mode) by default, and needs to be manually enabled.
