8-Port SATA/SAS PCIe Controller
    
INTRODUCTION
 
 
This latest PCIe controller supports connecting up to eight SAS or 
SATA devices via two internal mini SAS (SFF-8087) connectors. 
Each SATA connection supports throughput up to 6Gbps when 
installed into PCI-Express 2.0 slots with 8 or more lanes. The small 
form factor of this controller allows it to fit into both standard height 
and low profile slots in many Desktop, small form factor system, 
rack mount system and various computing equipment. By 
combining with Addonics family of mini SAS connector bridge, the 
two internal mini SAS ports on this controller can be easily 
converted to external mini SAS (SFF-8088) for external storage 
application.
