[. . . ] PCIe Drive Array high performance array of four 2. 5" SATA drives PCIe X4 Single board RAID sub-system Supports RAID (0, 1, 5, 10) via Silicon Images SATARaidTM RAID management utility as well as JBOD and concatenated volumes Utilizes Silicon Image Sil3124A Single Chip Host Controller and Integrated Device Technology Tsi384 PCIe to PCI-X bridge Supports SATA II speeds up to 3Gb/s Supports SATA II Native Command Queuing & SATA 1. 0 Tagged Command Queuing Incorporates 4 embedded 2. 5", 5400/7200 RPM SATA hard drives or solid state drives for total capacities of up to 4TB* Software drivers for Windows, Linux, and MAC OS for both RAID & nonRAID operations High performance array of four 2. 5" SATA drives on a single PCIe X4 board Apricorn's PCIe Drive Array is a flexible, high performance array of four 2. 5" SATA hard drives or solid state drives on a single PCIe X4 board. Using an Integrated Device Technology Tsi384 PCI express X4 to PCI-X 64-bit/133MHz bridge and the Silicon Image SiI3124A single chip host controller, the PCIe Drive Array is capable of incorporating 4 embedded 2. 5", 5400/7200 RPM SATA hard drives or even faster solid state drives for total capacities of up to 4TB*, making it a perfect fit for applications such as servers, industrial PCs, high speed data collection and storage systems that require maximum performance from their storage architecture. The PCIe Drive Array is compatible with several systems and only uses one internal full length PCIe X4 slot. [. . . ] The PCI Drive Array also includes configuration software and supports RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 1+0 (mirrored stripe), and RAID 5 (parity stripe), as well as JBOD and concatenated volumes via the Silicon Image SATARaidTM RAID management utility. Designed for optimum performance, the PCIe Supports SATA II Native Command Queuing & SATA 1. 0 Tagged Command Queuing, ensuring that drives stay fully loaded with queued commands. *One terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes 4TB based on four 1TB 2. 5" drive configuration. accessible capacity will be less and actual capacity depends on the operating environment and formatting.
