Introduction

The SATA2-PCIE01 is a 2-port Serial ATA to PCI Express Host Adapter. The SATA2-PCIE01 is designed to provide multiple port serial ATA connectivity with minimal host overhead and host to device latency. The SATA2-PCIE01 supports a 1-lane 2.5 Gb/s PCI Express bus and the Serial ATA Generation 2 transfer rate of 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s).
