so if I put this into a x16 PCIE 1.0 port and hooked an SSD to it, what would be my max bandwidth to the SSD?

The adaptor is compatible with PCIE 1.0 and 2.0 specifications (2.5 and 5GHz signaling, 250 and 500MB/s data rate), however the maximum data rate in the PCIE 1.0 connection will be limited at 250MB/s for a SATA III device. Note that the (supported) SATA signaling is 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0GHz (150, 300 and 600MB/s), different from PCIE data rates. Obviously the lower of the two, in any combination, will apply.

Hello,well, the maximum bandwith provided by the PCI-E x16 gen 1.0 standard port; it is greater than the PCI-E x1 gen 1.0, and not having now many specifications on these standards on Wikipedia.org I have found about that for x1 slot the bandwith is 2.5 GB/s (250 MB/s) and for x16 slot it is 8 GB/s (? MB/s). I hope this is enough. Greetings,Massimo.

There is 1 PCIe x1 Connector. If you want full specs, go to the Dell web site and download the 960 technical guidebook. The exact filename is, desktop-optiplex-960-technical-guidebook-en.pdf

per apricorn specs: the x1 has data transfer speeds up to 400 MB/sec*..the x2 up tp 550 MB. Depends on your need and whether or not you want to tie up your only x16 slot.Also you need to look at where it will fit in your case. Hope this helps

If you mean the short versus the longer slots (X1 or X 16) it doesn't matter.It is only going to draw the power that it needs because the connectors are only going to connect in a X1 (short slot) mode. The main issue is that you connect the card to an internal power supply, either the Molex connector or the SATA style connector; whichever one will fit. My suggestion is to install it in one of the X1 (short) slots and save the longer slots for something like a video card. Windows 7 will find drivers for it but it's a good idea to use the driver disk that came with it. You're not going to get super blazing speed unless you have some super blazing adapter or protocol installed which most USB 3.0 devices do not have. However, I have been very happy with this device even though I know I'm not going to get the full throughput that is commonly advertised for USB 3.0. You have to read the advertisements carefully because they say UP TO 400+ megabits per second.

That's the reason I bought this card I have a MB with only one PCIe X1 slot and no video card The OS it's windows home server 1Only using VGA out And it work of the box (I do not research for your MB specs)Cheers

I wish I could give you a good answer on this, but I installed it in a an older puter with an older sata3 buss, and ahci wasnt even an option in the bios. that being said, the customer is very happy with it said her puter has never been faster...

Hello, x16 means the pin configuration (pci x8 means 8 pins, x16 means 16 pins). The difference between PCI-E 2.0 vs. PCI-E 3.0 is the difference in throughput: Per lane, in each direction:v1.x: 250 MB/s (2.5 GT/s)v2.x: 500 MB/s (5 GT/s)v3.0: 985 MB/s (8 GT/s)v4.0: 1969 MB/s (16 GT/s)For a 16-lane slot, in each direction:v1.x: 4 GB/s (40 GT/s)v2.x: 8 GB/s (80 GT/s)v3.0: 15.75 GB/s (128 GT/s)v4.0: 31.51 GB/s (256 GT/s)

Yes, it is PCIe 3.0 compliant. Of course this is backwards compatible with 2.0, and your system will determine the actual data rate.

Not sure, I am running a 256 Gig SSD drive. Try the Gigabyte manufacturer's support forums.

I would not bet on anything fast.. 150mb would be the high point... you're going through a PCI slot.. that's the limit.

There is no problem using SSDs, although I could never get both ports to work. I had three different cards (one RMAed) on two servers and the second port would never work for me.

I don't know the maximum. I'm just using it for JBOD and not RAID. I needed more SATA ports.

I agree with the other response, I googled an image of your motherboard and from what I see, yes it will plug in and work. Now if your router does not have 10/100/1000 capabilities it will only work to the routers fastest bandwidth speed. You will not see 1gb speed on your connection status. You will probably see 100 mps

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card can only be used in a PCIE X16 slot. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

No, I don't think so, from a data standpoint, this is just a passthrough device, so if you connect a 6Gbps SSD in one of the bays, the bay itself will not affect the speed. I use this as a holder of my drives for my RAID6 array, and the drives are mechanical, so my limiting factor is the throughput of the RAID controller first, and secondarily the read/write performance of the drives. I'm getting over 3Gbps to this array, so that is further evidence that the device itself does not affect SATA throughput.

if you're talking about the SATA speed ports, I have mine plugged into a SATA 6GB port and not a problem

I just plugged 1ssd and one sata drive. I think two ports are hight speed but I dont remenber. whats the plan with that huge setup?
