Chapter 1Introduction
1.1Overview
The development of AEC-7730A is based on ACARD’s SCSI-to-SATA
technology, which converts a SATA hard drive into a SCSI one for the best
performance. An on-board core micro controller developed by ACARD
makes the bridge AEC-7730A more flexible and more stable in high-level
applications.
