Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Product Introduction
This board is a single-chip, PCI Express to two SATA Gen III
6Gb/s channels host controller that brings server-class features to the
desktop.
This board enables the use of the industry’s newest and fastest hard
drives at 6Gb/s while providing backward compatibility to legacy
SATA 1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s drives. It uses the same cable and connectors
as previous SATA generations to ease integration. Besides, PCI Express
2.0 double the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express bus for faster
data throughput. It will enhance system performance for every type of
computer user. Each PCI-Express 2.0 lane provides up to 500MB/s of
throughput. It also backward compatible with previous generation of
PCI Express 1.0 technology.
