Description and Notes

This little SATA board is a convenient and compact way to add up to 5 SATA drives (there’s also a 6-port version) to a Raspberry Pi, either via a CM4 carrier board that has a built-in full-size (80mm) M.2 slot, or via a PCI Express x1 to M.2 adapter card.

Since mid-2021, SATA support is built into the Raspberry Pi kernel, so assuming you have updated to the latest version (sudo apt upgrade -y), this card should work out of the box.

On the Pi 5, you may need to add the following options in your /boot/firmware/config.txt for better compatibility with this and other SATA controllers:

dtoverlay=pciex1-compat-pi5,no-mip
dtoverlay=pcie-32bit-dma-pi5
