SATA PCI-X Controller with Multilane connector Get full external performance
from your SATA 3Gb/s (SATA II) drives! Now supports Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard (32-bit & 64-bit) in JBOD mode!
Designed using the latest 3Gbits/sec chipset from Silicon Image (SIL3124-2), this
Multilane (4 lane) connector equipped SATA controller incorporates many advanced features that are
usually found only in much more expensive RAID controllers.
Can be easily configured as 4 individual drives with no RAID or as RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 1+0 (mirrored stripe), and RAID 5 (parity stripe)
or JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks - each drive can be a separate drive letter). When installed into
a fast PCI-X 133 MHz slot, this controller ensures maximum data throughput of up
to 3 Gbits/sec per lane. Sustained throughput of 300 Mbytes/sec can be achieved using
hi-performance 7,200 RPM SATA II hard drives by setting up 4 drives in a RAID 0 configuration.
In addition, the External SATA Multilane Infiniband connector also provides a
very secure cable connection, improved durability and increased EMI protection
to a SATA Multilane enclosure.
