    IOWA-MARK Half-size CPU Card F.1 Introduction The ALi M5283 SATA RAID chipset can control parallel ATA (PATA) and serial ATA (SATA) disks. The ALi controller supports PATA UDMA transfer mode up to mode 6 and SATA 1 disk drives. The ALi M5283 also has a cost-effective RAID functionality that can increase the data read/write speed and provide protection to data by distributing mirrored duplicates of data onto two disk drives (RAID 1).
