RAID-capable SATA expansion for Mini-PCIe systems
Two additional SATA ports:Two internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports for HDDs and SSDs.
Flexible data protection and performance:RAID 0, RAID 1 and SPAN directly on the controller.
Efficient protocol support:AHCI 1.3 and NCQ for fast access.
Easy integration into existing slots:Full-size Mini-PCIe card to PCIe 2.0.
This Mini-PCIe 2.0 card adds two internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports to compact systems and allows connection of hard drives and SSDs of SATA generations III, II and I. The integrated RAID function aggregates performance (RAID 0), mirrors data (RAID 1) or combines drives (SPAN), so that storage can be adapted flexibly.
It proves itself in professional IT environments, in on-site installations and in service deployments, especially when existing infrastructures in companies and public institutions have a free Mini-PCI Express slot and are to be expanded with additional storage ports or simple RAID functions.
