SATA II RAID Controller with Multilane Infiniband Port

Take SATA II 3Gb/s performance outside your computer with this SATA Multilane Controller

Designed using the latest 3Gbits/sec chipset from Silicon Image (SIL3124-2), this Multilane (4 lane) connector  equipped 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 (Just a Bunch Of Disks - each drive can be a separate drive letter).  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 300 Mbytes/sec can be achieved using hi-performance 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 SATA Multilane enclosure.
