Product Details
This M.2 M Key to SATA3.0 expansion board is a perfect gift for LattePanda Sigma users. It's super easy to use - no driver installation needed, just plug and play! With high - speed data transmission and rock - solid performance, it's a reliable choice. The five SATA3.0 interfaces let you connect various SATA devices like optical drives, SSDs, HDDs, and SSHDs. Pair it with the Sigma motherboard to add extra data storage space. The expansion card uses the JMB585 chip and has an indicator light. When you connect a SATA device, the light comes on, and it flashes during data read or write, so you can always keep an eye on the card and hard - disk status. To boost stability, an aluminum alloy heat sink is added for great heat dissipation. This expansion board is compatible with multiple systems including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. It has a transmission protocol of PCIe 3.0x2, supporting up to two channels of PCIe XPRESS. It can work with hard drives that support the SATA protocol, with an uplink speed of PCIe 3.0 X2 16Gbps and a downlink speed of SATA3.0 6Gbps * 5. It measures 22 * 80mm.
Using this M.2 M Key to SATA3.0 expansion board is a breeze. First, make sure your LattePanda Sigma is turned off. Then, simply plug the expansion board into the appropriate slot. You don't need to install any drivers; it's plug - and - play. After that, you can connect your SATA devices like SSDs or HDDs to the five SATA3.0 interfaces. When you turn on your device, check the indicator light. If it lights up, it means the device is properly connected. When data is being read or written, the light will flash. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. The aluminum alloy heat sink helps with heat dissipation, but avoid blocking it. Also, when you're not using the expansion board for a long time, it's a good idea to store it in an anti - static bag. Remember, this expansion board is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, so you can use it across different systems.
