This PCI Host Adapter can upgrade your desktop computer to have four Serial ATA RAID Channels. It can support Low profile PCI and regular size PCI both. The board provides a 32bit, 33/66 MHz PCI interface on the host side and fully compliant Serial ATA ports on the device side to access Serial ATA Serial ATA storage media such as hard disk drive, ZIP drive, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM.

RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring), RAID 0+1 (mirrored-stripping) and RAID 1+S (Mirrored-Sparing) improve the data performance and provide the data redundancy and rebuilding.

• Provides 2 Brackets to Support Low profile PCI and Regular size PCI in one card
  
• 48 bits LBA can Break Capacity-Limit to Support HDD larger than 137GB
  
• Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation Serial ATA data rates 1.5Gb/s
  
• Hot-plug capability
  
• Fully compliant with Serial ATA 1.5G specifications
  
• Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to multiple drives
  
• Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on two 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
  
• RAID 1+S (Mirrored-sparing) can automatically replace the failed drive and rebuild the system when booting HDD is failed.
  
• Supports ATAPI commands
  
• Supports Spread Spectrum in receiver
  
• Independent 256-byte FIFOs (32 bit * 64 deep) per Serial ATA channel for host reads and writes
  
• Compliant with PCI Specification, revision 2.2
  
• Integrated PCI DMA engines
  
• Four Pin header on board for LED connection
  
• 32 bit, 33/66MHz fully compliant PCI host interface
  
• Supports Windows 98, Millennium, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003 and Linux, Novell Netware
  
• Acts as NON-RAID when BIOS not configured RAID
