Introduction

SATA-PCI10R-IE is a Multilane 4X SATA to PCI Host Adapter. It can be used to control four independent Serial ATA channels. Each channel has its own Serial ATA bus and will support one Serial ATA device. SATA-PCI10-IE supports a 32-bit 66 MHz PCI bus and the Serial ATA Generation 1 transfer rate of 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s).

SATA-PCI10R-IE is a cost-effective solution for applications that need to accommodate storage peripherals with the new Serial ATA interface. Any system with a PCI bus interface can simply add the Serial ATA interface by adding a card with the SATA-PCI10-IE and loading the driver into the system.
The SATA-PCI10R-IE comes complete with drivers for Windows 98, Windows Millennium, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, XP, Netware and Linux.

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.
