Based on the proven architecture of the Silicon Image chipset, DATOptic mSATA-PCI is a single-chip PCI to 4-port Serial ATA (SATA) host controller. DATOptic mSATA-PCI is an ideal storage host controller for servers, workstations, A/V editing station or low cost storage systems featuring JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 in single Multilane / Infiniband conncetion.

Based on a 32-bit/66 MHz PCI interface, DATOptic mSATA-PCI provides support for four independent Serial ATA devices with transfer rate up to 1.5GB per channel with total banwidth of 266MB/sec. In addition, multiple mSATA-PCI controllers may be used in the same application when connections to more than four devices are required.

Our Serial ATA host controller mSATA-PCI is fully support Windows, Linux and Novell Netware operating systems for both RAID and non-RAID operations. Software RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), and RAID 1+0 (mirrored stripe) functions are supported through Silicon Image’s SATARaid™ RAID management software utility.
