Both variants will apparently rely on the same RAID setup, but they’ll be sold as barebones kits, without drives installed. Two configurations are slated for production: one that accommodates a pair of 2.5″ SATA drives, and another with pairs of M.2 and mSATA slots for mini SSDs. That final product will be housed in a larger 3.5″ case. These SandForce-based offerings aren’t the fastest mSATA parts around, but users should be able to spec whatever they want with the finished product. As for the drives, the unit we’ve been testing came loaded with a pair of Kingston SSDNow mS200 120GB SSDs. The chip isn’t listed online, but it seems to be an AHCI variant with dual Gen2 PCIe lanes and dual 6Gbps SATA ports. The 2.5″ prototype stripes a pair of mSATA SSDs in a RAID 0 array powered by an ASMedia ASM1062R controller chip. While the Hyper Express appears as a single drive, it’s actually fueled by two. We didn’t get any with Asus’ Hyper Express prototype, which appears in the Windows Device Manager hanging off a “standard SATA AHCI controller” connected to the chipset’s PCIe interface. Device makers are free to provide their own drivers, of course.

Windows 8.1 includes native drivers for both AHCI and NVMe, so SATA Express devices of either persuasion should work with the OS sans additional software.

The interface promises lower latency than AHCI in addition to a simpler command set and reduced software overhead. NVMe, on the other hand, was architected specifically for non-volatile memory like NAND flash. AHCI was conceived when mechanical hard drives were the norm, so it’s poorly suited to the radically different performance characteristics of solid-state storage. SATA drives will be limited to the AHCI interface, while PCIe implementations can choose between AHCI and NVM Express. SATA Express hosts must support both SATA and PCIe drives. Existing SATA drives should work in the port’s, er, ports, without issue.

On a motherboard, the SATAe port is essentially two SATA ports plus a smaller, third connector to the left.

The fastest implementations can offer up to 2GB/s of bandwidth, while those based on Gen2 PCIe are capped at 1GB/s.Īlthough the standard is based on PCIe, the SATAe physical interface also accommodates Serial ATA devices.
According to the SATA-IO group behind the spec, “The SATA Express environment is pure PCIe.” It comprises dual lanes with support for Gen3 speeds. In the meantime, you can whet your appetite with a quick look at the drive.īefore we delve into specifics, it’s worth clarifying a few things about the SATA Express standard.

Expect full coverage of those boards soon. The Hyper Express drive is due this quarter, and I’ve been using a prototype to test upcoming motherboards.
Asus is also working on a Hyper Express storage device that uses multiple SSDs to exploit the faster interface.
Select motherboards based on Intel’s 8+1 Series “next-gen” chipset have SATA Express connectors onboard. Now, at last, the first compatible devices are nearly upon us.
The standard was introduced in 2011 and ratified two years later.
