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.
