PCI Express Balances Cost, Performance, Compatibility and Advanced Features for Computing Platforms
PCI Express-enabled desktop computers can take full advantage of PCI Express efficiency with the MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card. Easily installed, it adds one internal ATA 133 port to connect data storage and other IDE devices.
<b>Fast Data Transfer</b>
The MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card supports UDMA6 data transfer rates of up to 133MBps and full-speed burst transfers on the ATA bus. Using 48-bit LBA, it breaks the size limit of 137 GB hard drives to support larger storage devices. Compliance with PCI Express 1.0a ensures that most PCI Express Card-equipped notebook computers and connected IDE devices can operate at peak performance.
<b>RAID Data Storage Support</b>
The RAID scheme allows for greater flexibility when using multiple hard drives to share or replicate data. Users can configure the MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card for stability, speed or a single large drive. The MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card supports JBOD to combine all drives into a single "virtual" disk drive. RAID 0 (striping) helps to increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to multiple drives. RAID 1 (mirroring) reduces loss risks from disk failure by writing identical data on two drives.
<b>Simple Installation</b>
The MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card fits PCI Express x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 lane buses to enable a quick and easy installation, and supports safe hot-swappable functionality. A low-profile bracket is also included to facilitate installation in almost any computer case.
