ARC-1300IX-16, SATA
Areca offers the most complete line of SAS host adapters. The host adapter card enables large-scale direct attach storage (DAS) arrays through external 3Gb/s ports, driving up to 128 end-point devices for Min SAS connector or driving up to 16 SATA devices for eSATA connector. The host bus adapter drives external server storage RAID and non-RAID enclosures with unprecedented throughput by connecting a four-lane 2.5 Gb/s PCI Express bus with option one external x4 SFF8088, one internal x4 SFF8087 and two external x4 SFF8088/four internal x4 SFF8087 miniSAS connectors.
