Based on the Silicon Image SiI-3132
chipset, this SATA II PCI Express card provides advanced SATA functionality
normally limited to server-class systems, including 3 Gb/s SATA data transfer
rates, Native Command Queuing and support for SiI-3726 & SiI-4726 Port Multipliers!
Use this card to connect a single eSATA hard drive to your
PCI Express equipped computer or through its support of port multipliers on the
eSATA port—the single port can handle up to five drives**! Used with high-performance drive enclosures like
this 5-Bay
SATA Port Multiplier Enclosure, this card can manage the data flow of up to five drives in one enclosure through a single cable. Using today's highest-capacity drives, you can connect an astounding
10 Terabytes (10,000 Gigabytes!) of striped RAID storage!
Supports Serial ATA II Port Multiplier 1.0 Specifications revision 1.1 and
used with a Port Multiplier Enclosure containing multiple SATA hard drives,
supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10!
Features:
- PCI Express 1-lane (x1) SATA II adapter works in any available PCI Express slot
- Supports SATA data rates up to 3Gb/sec (300 MB/s)
- Features the latest eSATA (external SATA) connector for connecting external high speed, high capacity hard disk
drives
- Both RAID and non-RAID* BIOS compatible (easily flash BIOS
to suit your needs)
- RAID BIOS supports RAID 5, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 1+S
- non-RAID* BIOS supports JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) - each drive in a
Port Multiplier enclosure can be a separate drive letter for example or use to
add up to 2 individual drives or up
to 10 individual drives mounted in SiI-3726 or SiI-4726 Port Multiplier
enclosures
- Supports SATA hard drives of any capacity
- Supports hard disk hot-plugging
- One Year Manufacturers Warranty
**Support for 5 drives requires the use of drive
enclosures employing port multipliers like this 5-Bay
SATA Port Multiplier Enclosure.
