PEXSAT34RH, 2398059, 65030849951
The
PEXSAT34RH 4-Port PCI Express 2.0 SATA Controller Card with HyperDuo adds 4 AHCI
SATA III ports to a computer through a PCIe slot (x2), delivering multiple
internal 6Gbps connections for high-performance hard drives and Solid State
Drives (SSDs).
Featuring
HyperDuo technology, the SATA card offers SSD auto-tiering which lets you
balance the performance advantages of SSD storage with the cost-effectiveness
and large capacity of standard hard drives. By combining SSD and HDD drives into
a single volume (up to 3 SSD + 1 HDD), HyperDuo discreetly works in the
background to identify and move frequently accessed files to the faster SSD
drive(s) for improved data throughput - up to 80% of SSD performance! (Note: The
HyperDuo automatic storage tiering feature is compatible with computers that use
a BIOS.)
The
PCIe SATA controller card supports Port Multiplier (PM), enabling multiple SATA
drives to be connected to one port over a single cable, for a total of 7 drives
(Up to 4 drives through PM on one port, and a single drive to the remaining 3
ports). Plus, the SATA controller card offers an effective hardware RAID
solution, with native RAID (0, 1, 1+0) support.
