Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Does the ASMedia ASM1061 support SATA 6Gbps (SATA III) speeds?
A: Yes, the ASM1061 fully complies with Serial ATA Specification 3.0, providing native support for up to 6.0Gbps transmission speeds on both of its downstream SATA ports.
Q2: Are custom drivers required to run the ASM1061 on Windows or Linux?
A: No, because the ASM1061 is fully AHCI 1.3 compliant. It uses native inbox AHCI drivers included in Windows, Linux kernel, macOS, and FreeBSD for seamless plug-and-play operation.
Q3: Does the ASM1061 support Port Multiplier technology?
A: Yes, the controller supports SATA Port Multipliers with Command-based and FIS-based switching, allowing connection to multiple drives via a single SATA port.
Q4: What is the main difference between ASM1061 and ASM1062?
A: The ASM1061 uses a single-lane PCIe Gen2 interface to provide 2 SATA ports. ASM1062 utilizes a two-lane PCIe Gen2 (x2) interface to offer higher bus bandwidth suitable for multi-drive configurations.
Q5: What alternative or replacement chips can be used instead of ASM1061?
A: Common alternatives include ASM1062, JMB582. Please note pinout, PCIe lane count and port quantity differ; hardware circuit adjustments may be required for direct replacement.
Q6: What is the operating temperature range of ASM1061?
A: ASM1061 supports industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, suitable for industrial equipment, embedded systems and consumer storage devices.
Q7: Can ASM1061 support hot-swap of hard drives?
A: Yes, it supports SATA device hot plug function, convenient for removable storage and expansion chassis applications.
Q8: Is ASM1061 compatible with SATA I / SATA II hard disks?
A: Fully backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gbps (SATA I) and SATA 3.0Gbps (SATA II) storage devices, it will automatically negotiate the matching transfer speed.
