DeLock 5x SATA PCI-Ex2 Controller, Full-Height, Low-Profile

DeLock 5x SATA PCI-Ex2 Controller – High-Speed Internal Storage Expansion

The DeLock 5x SATA PCI-Ex2 Controller is a PCI-Express x4 expansion card that adds five internal SATA 3 ports to a desktop PC. It enables the connection of up to five SATA drives — hard drives or SSDs — directly to the motherboard via the PCIe bus, without requiring additional cables or external enclosures.

• Five SATA 3 ports provide ample capacity for expanding internal storage across multiple drives
• PCI-Express x4 interface delivers higher bandwidth than legacy SATA controllers, reducing transfer bottlenecks
• Full-Height, Low-Profile bracket fits standard desktop cases and low-profile chassis alike
• Includes Low-Profile solder bracket for secure installation in compact form factors

What sets the DeLock 5x SATA PCI-Ex2 Controller apart

Unlike basic SATA add-in cards, this controller uses the PCI-Express x4 interface, which offers significantly more bandwidth than older PCI or PCI-X-based solutions. The Full-Height design with a Low-Profile solder bracket ensures compatibility with both full-size towers and smaller desktop enclosures. Five independent SATA 3 ports allow simultaneous connection of multiple drives without sharing bandwidth across a single channel.

Ideal for

Users building or upgrading a desktop PC with multiple internal SATA drives — whether for additional storage capacity, a dedicated media library, or a multi-drive backup station. The Low-Profile bracket makes it suitable for compact office PCs and small-form-factor builds where space is limited.

Application of the DeLock 5x SATA PCI-Ex2 Controller

1. Install the card into a free PCI-Express x4 slot on the motherboard
2. Connect up to five SATA drives using standard SATA cables (not included)
3. Configure the drives in the operating system — the controller presents each port as an independent drive
4. Secure the Low-Profile bracket to the case bracket with the included screws
