Space efficient and easy to install. Barely any configuration knowledge required.
Once I had gotten around to using this product, I installed it into a very basic 5+ year old machine that only had one mini PCIE port. My goal was to read and recover the array from a failed buffalo Terrastation Pro NAS box. The card installed easily with no fitting issues and initially I did not configure it for RAID. The drives were installed and connected in their correct order and the Linux Ubuntu PC was fired up. Immediately the array was recognised as a Linux EXT array and I was able to read the drives content.

Adding 4 Sata Ports to your motherboard.
I have an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard which is great with my i7-6700K except it only has 6 Sata slots, one of which is used by the DVD writer leaving only 5 for disks. This was proving to be a bit of a nuisance as I wanted to use some spare SSD's that came out of another build. The Syba 4 Port card was just the solution, adding another 4 slots. I put 3 old style HD's on the card, the DVD and 5 SSD's on the motherboard and now I am happy, with still one spare. It conveniently fitted into an x1 PCI-e slot next to my GPU. I didn't have to install anything, Windows 10 was fine with it all. I believe that the card supports RAID too but I haven't tried that as I don't think RAID is necessary in my case. So if you have some spare HD/SSD's lying around and have run out of SATA slots on your motherboard this is a very cost effective way of utilising them.

Good But!
I bought 2 of these inside my computer because I was building a NAS using FreeNAS and I can confirm it works in FreeNAS and Windows. However the description states that this is SATA 3 which is 6Gb/s. Well this is not true because it being a PCI E X1 the maximum bandwidth on this is 5Gb/s. So this part is a lie. Also if you had 4 SSD's on one of these PCI it would spread all 4 SSDs to across the PCI dividing 5Gb/s by 4, you would be 1.25Gb/s each drive, however this is based on all 4 drives reading and writing all at the same time which doesn't always happen. When booting these PCI cards load before I can even get into BIOS. They don't show in bios obviously but they show in DOS ready for FreeNAS, no drivers were needed these are plug and play. To get maximum performance and you had the room I would get 4x PCIE-2 ports. This would give you maximum performance. However being on a FreeNAS at 1Gb/s it doesn't really matter with the speed. Unless you are copying one set of hard drives to another set on the machine itself. This is a cheap option to get sata ports and it works... Would recommend.

Does the job.
I needed a 4 port SATA card and this fits the bill well at low cost. It works well and I did not need any software(software supplied on a small CD for RAID etc I think) - windows10 easily sees the ports when something is attached - no delay booting. Reading speed for a HDD seems fine - which is all I was concerned about really. I am very pleased with this card but I have used for less than a month and only time will tell if it is reliable in the long term.

If you don't have onboard SATA3 - this card is for you
Awesome product! Great alternative for lack of onboard SATA3. I have slight performance increase since attached to my PC but this is due to my bottlenecked PCIe x1... I'm sure it would perform better on PCIe x2 though.All SATA ports are bootable which is good advantage.

Plug & Play!
Excellent pcie x1 4-port SATA-controller! Working without hazzle with drivers, just displaying connected SATA-units, when starting up computer. Also bought a pcie x1 6 port SATA-controller - not working at all - with or without drivers. Stay away from x 6-port SATA controller!

Extra SATA ports
A product which has niche appeal with modern PC's but for enthusiasts with older kit, a godsend! No drama, fit it to the motherboard and it just WORKS! No higher recommendation than that.

scrambled my disk
This interface caused torrents of disk errors even when the only disk was plugged into a motherboard SATA port. In the process, it scrambled by disk which had to be recovered from backup. It was a disaster.

Piece of cake...
Installed it in my system and it was recognised and useable right away. Windows had the drivers already. Bottom line, excellent hassle free; and does the job.
