The VANTEC UGT-M2670 is a port expansion card designed for integrating additional SATA III devices into systems utilizing an M.2 NVMe slot. This card leverages the M.2 PCIe Gen3x2 B+M Key interface on a motherboard to provide five SATA III ports. It addresses the need for expanding storage connectivity in systems where native SATA ports are limited or fully utilized, allowing for the connection of up to five SATA-based storage drives. This solution is suitable for IT professionals and businesses looking to upgrade or expand server, workstation, or desktop storage capacity without requiring a traditional PCIe expansion slot, by repurposing an available M.2 NVMe interface for SATA connectivity.
This expansion card requires an M.2 NVMe slot on the motherboard that supports the PCIe Gen3x2 B+M Key interface.
The card is designed to connect up to five SATA devices, providing five SATA III ports for storage expansion.
This card is primarily used to expand the number of available SATA III ports in systems where the M.2 NVMe slot can be utilized for additional storage connectivity, rather than for an NVMe SSD.
No, this card uses the M.2 NVMe slot on the motherboard to connect 5 SATA devices via a PCIe interface. The connected devices will operate as SATA III devices, not NVMe.
