Designed using the latest 3Gbits/sec chipset from Silicon Image (SIL3124), this
Multilane (4 lane) connector equipped SATA PCI-X 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 Multilane SATA enclosure.
