2 port SATA 3Gb/s to PCI Express RAID Host Adapter featuring Silicon Image Sil3132 Controller
Introduction
The SATA2-PCIE02 is a 2 port Serial ATA to PCI Express Host Adapter. The SATA2-PCIE02 is designed to provide multiple port serial ATA connectivity with minimal host overhead and host to device latency. The SATA2-PCIE02 supports a 1-lane 2.5 Gb/s PCI Express bus and the Serial ATA Generation 2 transfer rate of 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s).
