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
