Add 2 high-speed RS-232 serial ports to your low profile/small form factor computer with a PCI Express expansion slot

The PEX2S553LP low profile/half-height PCI Express Serial Card turns a PCI Express slot into two RS232 (DB9) serial connections.

The card is constructed using a native single chip design that lets you harness the full capability offered by PCI Express (PCIe), while reducing the load applied to the CPU by as much as 48% over conventional bridge chip serial cards.

The PCI Express RS232 Serial Adapter Card is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, including Windows®; and Linux Kernel 2.6.11 to 4.11.x, and ships with a low profile/half-height bracket installed but includes an optional full profile bracket that lets you add 2 serial ports to virtually any computer (regardless of the case form factor).

This product is a replacement for our PEX2S552LP card.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

The StarTech.com Advantage

Add two Next Generation Form Factor M.2 SSDs and two SATA ports to your computer through PCI Express

This M.2 SSD RAID controller card lets you install two M.2 NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) drives in your desktop computer. The card also features two SATA III (6Gbps) ports and supports hardware RAID. Now, you can merge the speed and compact size of M.2 solid state drives (SSD) with the storage capacity of traditional hard disk drives (HDD).

Leverage the size and speed of M.2 drives

This M.2 controller card lets you take advantage of the size and performance benefits of NGFF SSDs. M.2 drives are smaller than typical platter drives or mSATA-based SSDs, so you can install them in small form-factor PCs and servers, or in tighter areas within your computer case.

When you couple the card with an M.2 drive, you can give your computer’s performance a noticeable speed boost. By installing your operating system on the M.2 drive, you'll have faster access to the files you commonly use, and you can continue to use your higher-capacity platter HDD for bulk storage.

Peace of mind, with simple and cost-effective data recovery

Due to their performance and size advantages, M.2 drives are commonly used in laptops. If your laptop has failed but its M.2 drive is functional, then this card can help with data recovery. Once the M.2 drive is installed and the data recovery is complete, you can continue to use the drive for storage and backup purposes.

Build a high-performance RAID array

If you need a scalable, internal storage solution that you can count on, then this card can help. It supports a range of RAID configurations (RAID 0, 1, and 10), giving you multiple ways to expand your storage, improve your computer’s performance, or to create data redundancy backups.

Connect even more drives with port multiplication

Because the M.2 card supports port multiplication, you can connect up to four drives to one of the card’s SATA ports. With a built-in port multiplier, you can install up to seven drives (two M.2 SSDs, five SATA drives) in your computer through this single drive controller.

Supports a wide range of drives

You can rest assured that your M.2 SATA drives are compatible with the card. It supports the most common drive sizes, including 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230. For more versatility, the card also supports hybrid drives.

The StarTech.com Advantage

Do you need a cost effective controller that provides fast access to the data on the internal server drives and without using a PCIe slot? The HP H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter comes in a Flexible Smart SAS HBA form factor that provides a reliable, high performing SAS connectivity to the data in the server internal drives. Supported on select Gen9 servers, it features eight internal physical links and it delivers 12 Gb/s SAS performance.

The H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter provides flexibility to run as an HBA mode or simple RAID mode. When operating in simple RAID mode, it provides RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5 with optional HP Secure Encryption capabilities.

Unlike the HP Smart Array Controllers, the H240ar does not offer any acceleration or support cache modules.

Features
Cost-Effective SAS Storage Connectivity

The HP H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter comes in a Flexible Smart SAS HBA form factor that provides a basic building block for simple RAID storage solution for select HP Gen9 Servers with a Flexible Smart Array & SAS HBA slot.

Delivering up to 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity for internal hard drives it provides increased scalability, basic data protection, and flexibility for storage connectivity.

You get optimized performance and uptime for your entry-level storage requirements.

This HBA supports SAS, SATA, Solid State Drives (SSDs) and internal tape drives for increased flexibility.

Efficient and Simple Configuration, Deployment and Management

The HP H240ar Smart Host Bus Adapter and the attached internal storage devices are configured, deployed and managed by the easy to use HP Smart Storage Administrator software which is included in the intelligent provisioning capabilities of the server.

Delivers proactive service warnings and analysis based on Solid State Drive (SSD) endurance reports from the HP SmartSSD Wear Gauge utility.

Simplify the management of the attached storage pool with HP Smart Storage Administrator.

Enhanced performance for demanding applications

The QM2 expansion card allows for adding M.2 SSDs to increase the storage capacity of your Windows/Linux PC/workstation, while also boosting overall IOPS performance by offloading bandwidth-demanding tasks to the SSD to minimize application loading times. It is ideal for resource-demanding applications, such as inline video-editing, gaming and more.

Tackle performance bottlenecks

QM2 boosts performance by adding M.2 SSDs. It doesn’t occupy any 3.5-inch drive bays, allowing you to maximize both your storage capacity and performance.

PCI Express to Serial Adapter | 921.6Kbps | Windows® and Linux® Compatible

This PCI Express RS232 serial adapter card lets you add four RS232 (DB9) serial ports to your computer through a PCI Express (PCIe) slot. The 4 port PCIe serial card enables you to interact with serial devices, such as card readers, printers, PIN pads, and modems, at speeds of up to 921.6Kbps.
