Internal SATA interface card ROLINE 15062148 PCIe Low-profile 6 Gbit/s

The ROLINE 15062148 PCIe Low-profile internal SATA interface card provides a compact solution for adding SATA connectivity to desktop or small-form-factor systems. Designed for installation in a PCIe slot, this card supports SATA data transfers up to 6 Gbit/s and fits low-profile chassis. With a lightweight construction, it is intended for straightforward expansion of internal storage without occupying significant space.

Advantages

This internal SATA interface card offers a low-profile design that makes it suitable for small chassis and compact workstations. It supports SATA transfer rates up to 6 Gbit/s, enabling use with modern SATA SSDs and HDDs. The PCIe host interface provides direct connectivity to the system bus for reliable data transfer, while the card's small size and low weight simplify installation and minimize mechanical impact inside the case.

Suitable for

• Adding one or more SATA drives to a desktop PC or small-form-factor system
• Expanding internal storage capacity for data, backups, or media libraries
• Upgrading older systems that lack spare SATA connectors on the motherboard
• Integration into compact servers or workstation builds where low-profile cards are required

Key specifications

• Host interface: PCI Express (PCIe)
• Output interface: SATA
• Maximum data transfer rate: 6 Gbit/s (SATA III)
• Form factor: low-profile compatible
• Weight: 0.0432 kg
• Mounting: internal PCIe slot installation

How to use

Install the card into an available PCIe slot on the system motherboard according to the chassis and motherboard documentation. Secure the card with the chassis mounting bracket or screw, then connect SATA cables from the card's SATA ports to the internal drives. Attach power to the drives using the system power supply. After powering on the system, verify that the BIOS/UEFI and operating system detect the connected drives; install any required drivers if the operating system does not automatically recognize the adapter.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use compatible SATA cables and ensure the PCIe slot provides the required signaling for the adapter. Confirm physical clearance in low-profile cases before installation and back up data before modifying storage configurations. Follow the system manufacturer's guidelines when updating BIOS/UEFI or installing drivers.
