Product Overview
The JMS561U-QGHA2A is a single-chip bridge IC developed by JMicron, connecting USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) host to two SATA III 6Gbps storage ports. It targets dual-bay hard drive docks, external RAID enclosures and lightweight NAS devices. This chip integrates hardware RAID engine supporting RAID 0 striping, RAID 1 mirroring and JBOD, without consuming host CPU resources. It also carries an independent offline clone engine: users can complete full disk copy by pressing external button without host connection. Compliant with BOT mass storage and UASP protocols, it improves transmission speed and reduces access latency. The compact 76-pin QFN package features good heat dissipation, suitable for backup storage, media workstations and offline disk duplicators.
Core Advantages
Integrated Hardware RAID 0/1/JBOD Processing
On-chip hardware RAID unit realizes storage redundancy and speed acceleration, independent of system drivers.
Autonomous Host-Free Standalone Cloning
Supports offline disk copy between two drives without host PC, ideal for system migration and data duplication equipment.
UASP-Accelerated Protocol Throughput
Native UASP support enables parallel command queuing, sequential read/write speed up to 70% faster than traditional BOT transmission.
Dynamic Low Power and Thermal Management
Supports SATA Partial/Slumber power saving modes and USB 3.0 low power states, lowering operating temperature and extending disk service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is your JMS561U-QGHA2A stock 100% genuine original parts?
A: All JMS561U-QGHA2A chips we supply are brand new original JMicron products. All batches are stored and shipped with ESD anti-static packaging under constant temperature control.
Q2: Does JMS561U-QGHA2A support SSD TRIM command pass-through?
A: Yes. Under UASP mode on Windows, Linux and macOS systems, this controller forwards standard ATA TRIM commands to SSDs, maintaining long-term storage performance.
Q3: How to set RAID 0 / RAID 1 mode on this bridge chip?
A: RAID mode can be configured via hardware GPIO strap pins during power-up, or adjusted dynamically through official JMicron management software.
Q4: How to obtain reference schematics, Gerber files and bulk wholesale price?
A: Fill in the online inquiry form with your project requirements. Our technical support team will send complete technical documents within 24 hours.
