PCI, Ultra ATA/133 Controller for 66MHz PCI Motherboards.

Ultra133 TX2 simply delivers more for your new Ultra ATA/133 drive(s). Ultra133 supports Ultra ATA/133 drives with burst data transfers up to 133MB per second — 33% faster than Ultra ATA/100 drives. Ultra133 also supports 66MHz PCI motherboards that offer broader bandwidth of up to 266MB/sec over the PCI bus with CRC error-checking, greater data reliability, and faster transfers.

With Ultra133 TX2, you can rely on the world’s most-widely tested and implemented ATA BIOS from Promise. Just attach your new Ultra ATA/133 drive(s) and/or older Ultra ATA/100/66/or 33 drives. The Promise BIOS will recognize the make, model, and best speed setting for peak drive performance.

Ultra133 TX2 supports the highest drive speeds possible from Ultra ATA/133 drives. Thanks to CRC error-checking, Ultra133 assures data transfers are free from data loss — even when these drives are running all out.

The bundled 80-wire/40-pin Ultra ATA cable also improves signal integrity by minimizing signal noise or “crosstalk” during data transfers that can contribute to data losses.

* With Ultra133 comes the proven Promise BIOS that automatically recognizes the capacity of even the largest Ultra ATA drives today. Large LBA mode support means you can use ATA drives exceeding 137GB without using manufacturers’ software drivers. Got the gadget bug? If more is better,

Ultra133 TX2 is the perfect choice for adding conflict-free peripherals to your system. Ultra133 TX2 and its two ATA ports co-exist with the motherboard’s two ATA ports. Now you can combine up to 8 ATA drives and

ATAPI peripherals (CD-RWs, DVDs, etc...) in any one PC.

* Handles Up to 4 Ultra ATA/133 Drives or devices.

* CRC Error Checking Up to 133MB/sec.

* 66MHz PCI Bus support assures highest Data Transfers.

* For Windows XP/2000/NT4/ME/98/95; Netware 3.12/4.1x/5.x; Linux.
