3Gbps. It comes completely with drivers for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003.

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 mirrored second drive.

1.1. Features

1.1.1. PCI Interface

Compliant with PCI Specification, revision 2.2. Integrated PCI DMA engines.

64 bit, 133MHz fully compliant PCI host interface.

1.1.2. High Speed Serial ATA Interface

Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation & 2nd generation Serial ATA data rates 1.5Gbps/ 3Gbps.

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.

Fully compliant with Serial ATA specifications. Supports Spread Spectrum in receiver.
