Product Overview
The JMB321-QGCP0B is a single-chip SATA Gen II port multiplier from JMicron, converting one host SATA channel to 5 independent storage ports for NAS, NVR and embedded storage hardware. It supports 3.0Gbps SATA II bandwidth with backward compatibility to SATA 1.5Gbps, featuring both FIS-based and command-based switching to boost multi-drive concurrent IO performance. Integrated PHY transceivers, independent hot-plug control and NCQ hardware acceleration deliver stable multi-disk expansion without host hardware modification. The low-power QFN-64 package fits compact fanless storage equipment with commercial-grade temperature tolerance.
Core Advantages
1-to-5 Multi-Drive Expansion Design
Expands a single SATA host port to connect up to 5 HDD/SSD, saving PCB layout space and reducing system hardware costs.
Dual Switching Modes for High Throughput
Supports FIS-Based Switching for parallel multi-disk data transmission, paired with Command-Based Switching for backward compatibility with legacy SATA controllers.
Independent Per-Port Hot-Plug & NCQ Acceleration
Each target channel supports safe dynamic drive hot swap; built-in NCQ hardware acceleration optimizes random read/write response speed for multi-storage arrays.
Low Power & Compact QFN Packaging
Optimized silicon design cuts leakage current and heat generation, suitable for miniaturized fanless NAS and surveillance storage enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is your stock JMB321-QGCP0B 100% original JMicron genuine parts?
A: Yes, all in-stock JMB321-QGCP0B ICs are brand-new original JMicron components. Every batch passes quality inspection and packed in factory standard tape & reel moisture-proof packaging.
Q2: What is the difference between FIS-Based and Command-Based switching?
A: Command-Based switching only accesses one drive sequentially. FIS-Based switching transmits data frames to multiple drives simultaneously, significantly improving multi-disk overall throughput.
Q3: Does the host SATA controller need special drivers to work with this port multiplier?
A: It complies with official SATA 2.5 specifications. The host SATA controller must enable AHCI mode to fully utilize multi-drive concurrent transmission functions.
Q4: How to get datasheets, reference schematics or bulk tier pricing?
A: Fill out the Quick Inquiry form on this page with your required quantity. Our technical sales team will send full technical documents and quotation within 24 hours.
