SATAPCIX3+1, Micronet 3+1 port (1 external/3 internal) eSata PCI-X Host Bus Adapter
MicroNet 3+1 port eSATA PCI-X Host Bus Adapter The adapter offers an external SATA II ports and 3 internal SATA II ports at up to 3Gbps each with full port multiplier support, enabling users to setup up to 20 individual drives, RAID 0/1/5/0+1 or JBOD RAID arrays for high performance storage systems. The MicroNet 3+1 port eSATA PCI-X Host Bus Adapter card is fully compatible with Mac and PC systems.
Based on a New SATA II 3Gb/s Silicon Image chip architecture, the SiI 3124 is a single-chip PCI-X to 4-port Serial ATA (eSATA) host controller, that takes SATA performance and features to enterprise levels. Our eSATA-PCI-X fills the of applications such as servers, workstations and storage systems that require maximum performance from their storage assets. Utilizing a 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X interface and 4 independent Serial ATA channels, the eSATA-PCIX can be add to motherboard's PCI or PCI-X slot to provice Native SATA II - 300 4Ports PCI-X with NCQ, Port Multiplier, Raid5, Raid10, Raid0, Raid1and JBOD!
RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 0+1 (mirrored-stripping), RAID 5 (Distributed Parity RAID) and JBOD (Just Bunch of Disks) manage multiple disk drives to enhance I/O performance and provide redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member, without the loss of data.
