EXSYS EX-3466-2 Comutador SATA III de 4 portas - comutador HDD/SSD 1-para-4, 6Gbps, Hot-Swap, chipset Marvell

The EXSYS EX-3466-2 is a hardware-based SATA III switch that lets you connect one host port to four SATA devices and select which one is active at any time. Unlike software-based solutions, it operates independently of the operating system, making it ideal for multi-boot setups, drive cloning, or testing multiple drives without constantly swapping cables.

Highlights

• 1-to-4 SATA III port switching with a single host connection
• Supports data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps (SATA III)
• Backward compatible with SATA II (3 Gbps) and SATA I (1.5 Gbps)
• Hot-plug support for quick drive changes
• LED indicators for power and per-port activity
• Powered by a Marvell 88SM9705 chipset for reliable switching

In daily use

Install the EX-3466-2 inside your PC case or drive enclosure, connect the host SATA port to your motherboard or controller, and attach up to four SATA drives (HDDs, SSDs, or optical drives). Use the onboard switch to select the active drive. The switch is transparent to the system, so no drivers are needed. The SATA power connector supplies +5V and +12V to the module.
