1. Introduction This RAID Native SATA-150 4Ports PCI Host Adapter is a PCI to 4Ports Serial ATA host controller board. It provides a 32bit, 33/66 MHz PCI interface on the host side and dual, fully compliant Serial ATA ports on the device side to access SATA Hard disk drive. The board can be used to upgrade your desktop computer to have 4Ports Serial ATA Channels and support RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 0+1 features.
Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation Serial ATA data rates (1.5Gb/s). Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 drives. Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives.
2. What Is RAID RAID - Redundant Array of Independent Disks RAID technology manages multiple disk drives to enhance I/O performance and provide redundancy in order to withstand the failure of any individual member, without loss of data. This card provides two RAID Set types, Striped (RAID 0) and Mirrored (RAID 1). Disk Striping (RAID 0) Striping is a performance-oriented, non-redundant data mapping technique.
