EXSYS Mini PCIe SATA III Controller, 2-Port, 6Gbps, ASM1061, Full-Height EX-48080-2

Embedded systems and compact industrial PCs often lack sufficient storage connectivity, limiting expansion to additional hard drives or SSDs. The EXSYS EX-48080-2 Mini PCIe SATA III Controller solves this by adding two high-speed SATA 6Gbps ports through a standard Mini PCIe slot, enabling reliable storage expansion in space-constrained environments.

Who is it for

System integrators, industrial PC builders, and enthusiasts working with small form factor or embedded platforms who need to connect additional SATA drives without sacrificing performance or space. Ideal for applications such as digital signage, edge computing, and compact servers.
