Two-channel SATA RAID adapter
The CoolGear SS-SA2R adds two SATA II ports to any system with a free PCI Express slot. A Silicon Image SiI3132 controller drives both channels at up to 3.0Gb/s and handles RAID 0, 1, 0+1 or RAID 5 when a port multiplier is used. The card ships new and includes a dip-switch to enable or disable the onboard RAID BIOS.
Fits a single PCI Express lane
Installation consumes one PCI Express lane running at 2.5Gb/s and provides one internal and one external SATA connector. Legacy Command Queuing and Native Command Queuing are both supported, so the host can issue multiple commands without extra driver overhead. FIS-based switching lets a port multiplier share the link efficiently.
Replaces a single-port or non-RAID SATA card
Builders moving from a basic single-channel adapter gain a second drive connection and hardware RAID levels without adding a second bracket. The jump is worthwhile when mirrored or striped arrays are needed but a full hardware RAID controller is not justified. Systems limited to 1.5Gb/s SATA see a throughput increase to 3.0Gb/s.

Bu ürünle ilgili sorular
What bandwidth ceiling does the PCI Express 1-lane link impose on the SS-SA2R during sustained transfers?
The card uses a 1-lane 2.5Gb/s PCI Express connection, so total throughput cannot exceed that link speed even though each SATA channel can reach 3.0Gb/s.
How much heat or noise does the SS-SA2R generate when it runs all day in a RAID array?
The SiI3132 controller is passively cooled with no fan, so it adds only a small amount of warmth and no audible noise during continuous operation.
What must already be inside the PC for the SS-SA2R to function?
A free PCI Express slot and at least one SATA drive are required; the card provides two SATA II ports and a dip-switch for RAID or non-RAID mode.
