Works With Windows 10- Updated the Driver

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was looking for this product to upgrade 2 older Sata-II computers. This controller is PCI-e 2.0 (backwards compatible with 1.0) X1 TO 4- Sata III- GBPS. The chipset is Marvell 88SE9215. I was a little worried when I received the card. I had looked at many such controllers before buying and upon openong I realized that the instructions did not say it supported Windows 10. And there were not Windows 10 drivers on the CD. Additionally, some info said that a new install of windows is recommended. Since I already had Windows 10 installed on both computers I thought I would try to keep my current installs.
I installed the new controller and left my sata drives connected to the old controller on the motherboard. I booted windows 10 and did not notice and prompt for a driver. I first thought the card was bad. I reseated and no change. Upon further inspection of device manager, I discovered that Windows 10 had installed a driver under "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" called "Standard Sata AHCI Controller". At this point I went to IOCrest.com, Services, Download, and downloaded the Marvell 92xx driver. I extracted the zix (using 7-zip). The readme.docx did not list Windows 10. The drvSetup.exe did not run. There is a folder called Starport with driver files txtsetup.oem. So I went back to device manager and updated the existing "Standard Sata AHCI Controller" and pointed it to the Starport folder (them amd64 or i386) by using "Let me pick" and "Have Disk". I chose the and64 for 64 bit and the mv91cons.inf file. A driver installed and now the controller is listed under "Sata Controllers" as Marvell 92xx Sata 6G Controller. I'm pretty sure this is the Windows 8 driver that installed but it works great. Next I shutdown, moved my drives to the new controller and rebooted successfully with my current install of Windows 10. The second computer installed successfully in the same manner. Additionally, In the second computer, I installed the new controller into the PCI-e 2.0 16X slot where a video card normally goes. It was the only PCI-e slot available.

Works fine except no activity lights on the computer when active

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018

Works fine except no activity lights on the computer when active, however:
There are 4 unused pins in a row on the card marked positive (+) and negative (-);
The 2 outer pins (JP9), closest to the far right connector (CN3), are for an activity LED. :-)
I soldered a 2 pin header to them on the back-side of the card (the card is too close to my
graphics card to do it safely or conveniently to connect an LED connector to my case).
The activity LED works backwards - The LED is ON when inactive and toggles OFF when active.
You should understand that if you do this you will be voiding the warranty on your card.
I don't know what the other 2 pins are for (JP10) - I could not get them to work.

Works Pretty Fast, Be Sure to Install Provided Drivers

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

I received this expansion card and immediately put it to use. The card was super easy to install into my PCIe slot, at least I didn't have to struggle pushing it into the slot. I left nothing connected to it at first and booted up my computer (Win 7 Pro x64). After a brief moment Windows informed me it had installed the drivers it's own drivers (see first screenshot). I then rebooted it with a Crucial 1 TB MX500 drive attached to it, and Windows installed the driver for that, followed by another reboot. I then ran a disk speed test which I've included in this review as "before." This drive supposedly has ~500 MB/s read and write, but I think the difference is because it isn't connected directly to my motherboard. I thought I was done until I decided to read the instructions in detail. The included driver disc includes some drivers for a "HyperDuo" mode which allows essentially RAID 1 capability between a SSD and HDD (for example). I didn't need that personally, but the instructions also included driver installation. First I made a restore point, in case something goes awry. Then in Windows Device Manager I found "Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller" under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers," right clicked that, and clicked "Update Driver Software." I then clicked "Browse my computer for driver software" and browsed to the driver directory on the driver disc. The included directory path is a bit outdated, but on my disc I found it in N:\Marvell\92XX\Windows Vista_2008_7_8\amd64. There are 32 and 64 bit versions for Win XP through Win 8 (I'm guessing Win 10 is supported through the Win 8 drivers, this is unconfirmed as I don't use Win 10). Anyway I hit Next and the drivers were updated, followed by a reboot as usual. After the reboot Windows (re-)installed my SSD driver, which needed another reboot. I then performed another disk speed test, and it seems like there was a slight improvement in a few of the tests, the most by 30 MB/s (for 4K Q32T1 Read). Some of the values were the same as before (within uncertainty, of course).

TL;DR: Works great, make sure to install the supplied drivers and not rely on the default Windows driver, as it seemed to make a slight difference at least on my system.

Fits and works perfectly fine.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ordered this a few months back and have not had any problems with it. At the same time I also purchased an ICY DOCK 4 bay 2.5in drive rack to go in a 5.25in bay so I can have 4 hot swap drives. Since this had 4 sata ports it worked perfect together with the icy dock. Especially since my motherboard only had 4 sata ports (with 3 being used).

The quality of the card itself seems really good and I have installed it, taken it out, used on same motherboard in a new case and then finally moved it into a new motherboard (same case). So I have installed it 3 times now and it still holding up good. Very good transfer rates (can't tell the difference between onboard and the card as far as speed.

This card does not support RAID but I didn't need that in this case anyways.

This card does come with the smaller PCI-E bracket in case you are using a computer with slim design

I haven't tried but you could probably use software based raid with this card. It is just not a physical raid controller (and those are not cheap for a good one).

I would definitely recommend this and would certainly buy another if I need more sata ports.
