Four high speed Serial ATA interface ports, each supporting 1st generation Serial ATA data rates (1.5Gb/s). Provides RAID 0 (Stripping) to greatly increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to 2 drives. Provides RAID 1 (Mirroring) to protect the data from a disk failure by writing identical data on 2 drives. RAID 0+1 (Mirrored-Stripping) combine both Striping and Mirroring technologies to provide both the performance enhancements that come from Striping
