Adds the high-speed Serial ATA (SATA) interface to
a desktop computer
Provides one external serial ATA port for an
external Serial ATA drive and three internal Serial ATA
connections
Breaks the 137GB barrier! Supports various brands
of large capacity Serial ATA hard drives
With data transfer speeds up to 150 MBytes/sec and a new
and improved architecture, Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, are quickly gaining
popularity. Serial ATA provides faster data transfer rates, more
bandwidth, and better data integrity than the parallel ATA interface. The 4 port
Serial ATA PCI Card provides a fast and easy way to connect up to three internal
Serial ATA/150 drives and one external Serial ATA hard drive to your computer.
One of the biggest breakthroughs offered by the Serial ATA technology is more
computer friendly cabling. The thinner insulated SATA cables are much easier to install than the shorter, wider Parallel ATA cables. The smaller SATA
cables allows for improved airflow inside the PC case for improved cooling.
