RAID Native SATA-150 4Ports PCI Host

This Manual for the Models of 4 Channels SATA RAID HBA:

Model A: Serial ATA RAID Internal 4 Ports

Model B: SATA RAID External 2 Port + Internal 2 Port

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. It

accepts host commands through the PCI bus, processes them and transfers

data between the host and Serial ATA devices. The board should be connected

to SATA target device and will take the data, serialize it and output it for

transmission over the SATA interface. The board can control four independent

Serial ATA channels. Each channel has its own Serial ATA bus and will

support one Serial ATA device.

The board supports Serial ATA Generation 1 transfer rate of 1.5 Gb/s (150

MB/s). It comes completely with drivers for Windows 98, Windows Millennium,

Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and XP.

RAID, Redundant Array of Independent Disks, greatly enhances two main

areas of data storage: performance and data integrity. By using RAID 0, also

known as Striping, performance of sustained data transfer rates is greatly

enhanced by simultaneously writing data to 2, 3 or 4 drives. The second

benefit of RAID is data redundancy. RAID 1, Mirroring, writes identical data on

two drives or sets of drives, thus protecting the data from a disk failure. If, for any

reason, one drive were to fail, your data is secure and available from the
