The FWB-PCIE1X11B is a PCIe expansion card designed to add multiple SATA ports to a computer system, typically used for storage expansion. Specifically, it often provides 11 SATA ports through a single PCIe x1 slot, utilizing a port multiplier or similar technology. This card is useful for users needing to connect numerous HDDs or SSDs for applications like network-attached storage (NAS), media servers, or large data storage systems. While the PCIe x1 interface may limit the maximum throughput, it provides a cost-effective way to add significant storage capacity to systems with limited PCIe slots.
