16 Port PCIe X1 SATA Adapter Card: PCI-Express X1 extends 16 x SATA III 6Gbps ports, so PC can access 16 x SATA drivers at the same time. You can setup a storage pool with 16 x SATA disks, or configure Software RAID in windows/Mac OS/Linux. (Noted: Can not support Hardware RAID) Based on 3 x JMB575+1 x ASM1064 chip, Upstream PCI-Express 3.0 X1 Speed: 16 x SATA III 6Gbps ports share PCI-Express 3.0 X1 bandwidth (8Gbps), so all 16 x SATA III drivers can not reach 6Gbps at the same time.
