Designed using the latest 3Gbits/sec chipset from Silicon Image (SIL3124), 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 (combining all 4 drives into one large capacity hard drive). 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 over 200 Mbytes/sec can be achieved using standard
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.
