Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation Serial ATA data rates (1.5Gb/s).

RAID 5 (Distributed Parity RAID) has Highest Read data transaction rate and Good aggregate transfer rate.

Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 drives.

Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives.

RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping and the data availability and integrity that comes from Mirroring.

JBOD is a virtual disk that combines all disk drives as one entire disk drive.

Fully compliant with Serial ATA 1.0 specifications.

Supports Spread Spectrum in receiver.

Independent 256-byte FIFOs (32 bit * 64 deep) per Serial ATA channel for host reads and writes.
