Introduction

SATA-PCI10R is a 4-port Serial ATA (SATA) to PCI Host Adapter.It is ideal for applications such as servers, workstations and storage systems featuring peripherals with this new storage interface standard.Based on a 32-bit/66 MHz PCI interface, the SATA-PCI10R provides support for four independent Serial ATA devices.

RAID Level
  • RAID 0 (Stripping) greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to multiple drives
  • RAID 1 (Mirroring) can protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on two drives
  • RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring
  • RAID 5 (Distributed Parity RAID) has Highest Read data transaction rate and Good aggregate transfer rate
  • JBOD is a virtual disk that combines all disk drives as one entire disk drive.
