Product Description:
The IOGEAR 2-Port RAID eSATA 3.0Gbps Dual Profile PCI Express Card adds
2 external SATA ports to your desktop computer. It is great for users
who want to add SATA connectivity to their computers but do not want to
buy a whole new computer. Devices commonly used with this host adapter
are hard drives, Blu-ray optical drives HD-DVD drives, media center
drives and more. The low profile design of this adapter makes it ideal
for computers that have limited internal expansion space. The 2-Port
RAID eSATA 3.0Gbps Dual Profile PCI Express Card also supports multiple
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) configurations. RAID can
be designed to provide increased data reliability or increased I/O
performance, or both. The card supports RAID 5, 0, 1, 10 and JBOD
setups. This card is designed to work on the high-bandwidth PCI-Express
interface, effectively quadrupling the amount of available computing
bandwidth over the traditional PCI interface. IOGEAR'S PCI-Express SATA
Cards support all Serial ATA features, including 3.0Gbps SATA transfer
speeds, native command queuing, port multipliers with FIS-based
switching, programmable output signal swing strengths for longer
external cables or extended backplanes, hot plugging, enclosure
management and ATAPI device support.
