Highlights
  • FWB2IDE02AP support four IDE (ATA/ATAPI) devices.
Introduction

FWB2IDE02AP is ideally suited for tailgate interface applications for ATA hard disk drive. FWB2IDE02AP has two IDE channels.
Each IDE channel can attach two (Master and Slave) ATA drives.

FWB2IDE02AP provides RAID (Spanning, Striping and Mirroring) function. FWB2IDE02AP is aimed at higher-speed multimedia file storage application. FWB2IDE02AP provides the perfect solution for video or image file storage and transferring of data between computers using ATA devices.
