MRi -SATA-II-E2R5 interface cards/adapter

PCIe x1 2 port SATA II RAID 0, 1, 5 & JBOD controller This SATA host adapter, converts x1 PCI express to 2x SATA II RAID 0, 1, 5 and JBOD boasting server-class features for your desktop PC.

The MRI-SATA-II-e2R5 is based on Sil3132 chipset and supports x1 2.5Gbps PCI express bus and the SATA II transfer rate of 3.0Gbps (300 MB/s). It has its own onboard chip to supply full Hardware based RAID 0+1 as well as software provided for RAID 5 & JBOD configurations. Ideal for hosting multiple devices due to its Native Command Queuing, management device support, and selectable output strengths for multipliers with hot-plug support up to 10 drives.

It also supports the SATA port multiplier specification and FIS-based switching, which enables the execution of commands and transfer of data to multiple drives concurrently for unequalled data throughput over a single SATA link.

Features:
- Supports RAID 5 (parity) for the most reliable performance!
- Supports JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) for expanded customisability!
- Hot-plug capability
- Supports FIS-based switching with Port Multiplier
- Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives
- Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to multiple drives
- RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring
- Supports bootable drive
- Low Profile PCI form factor
- Supports 2.5Gbps PCIe x1
