MRI-SATA-II-e2CR
PCIe x1 2 port SATA II RAID 0, 1 controller
This SATA host adapter, converts x1 PCI express to 2x SATA II RAID 0, and 1 features for your desktop PC.
The MRI-SATA-II-e2CR is based on Sil3123 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 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
- Hot-plug capability
