ADSA3GPX8-4EM, SATA II x 4, 300Mb/s
Designed to the latest 3Gbits/sec ASIC from Silicon Image and eSATA connector, this 4-port controller incorporates many advanced features that are only found in some expensive RAID controllers. With the onboard BASE firmware, any drives connected will be detected by the system as individual pass-through drives.
When installed into the fast PCI-Express BUS, this controller ensures maximum data throughput of 3 Gbits/sec per port. In addition, the latest External SATA (eSATA) connector also provides more secured cable connection, improved durability, increased EMI protection and up to 2 meters cable length.
