MRI-PCIR/133/R

PCI 2.2 Dual port Parallel ATA (IDE) RAID 0, 1, JBOD controller

Boost speed and availability of your existing IDE drives by arranging them into a RAID array with great solution from MRi.

The MRI-PCIR/133/R is designed to perform with high-speed IDE/133 drives, supporting any combination of 100/66/33MBps hard drives in hardware RAID 0, 1, or 0+1 or Non-RAID configurations.

It auto-detects drives types and fine tunes to the best performance for each Ultra ATA channel and breaks the 137GB barrier to support various types of large capacity hard disk drives.

Features

• Supports JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) for expanded customisability!
• 48 bits LBA can Break Capacity-Limit to Support HDD larger than 137GB
• 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
• Acts as NON-RAID when BIOS not configured RAID
• 2x IDE 40-pin connectors
• Full backward support for Ultra ATA/100/66/33 standards
• On-board flash BIOS for future upgrade
• Supports Ultra DMA (0-6) and Multi-word DMA mode (0-2), and PIO mode (0-4)
• CRC error-checking provides data verification and achieves flawless data transactions
• Coexists with on-board IDE controller and allows you connect up to 4 IDE devices
• Supports ATAPI devices including CD-ROM and CD-R/RW drives, and zip drives
• Provides 2 independent Ultra ATA channels (built-in 256 Bytes FIFOs per channel) for faster data transfer
• Full support ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for advanced system power management
