Adaptec SATA II RAID 1220SA SATA interface cards/adapter

SATA II RAID 1220SA, PCI-E PCI Express x1, 2-Port SATA 3Gb/s supporting RAID 0, 1, and JBOD

2 Serial ATA 3Gb/s ports, PCIe x1, low-profile form factor with Native Command Queuing, RAID 0, 1, and JBOD for desktops, workstations and entry-level servers.

Serial ATA, the successor technology to parallel ATA for data storage, is a point-to-point connection that delivers full throughput to
each storage device by allowing multiple ports to be managed by a single controller.
Adaptec Serial ATA technology delivers data transfer rates starting at 3.0 Gb/s and a performance roadmap that calls for extensions to 6.0 Gb/s. Adaptec Serial ATA cables are thinner, simpler to route and install, and
provide better airflow for system cooling than parallel ATA cables.
