StarTech.com 4 Port PCI Express 2.0 SATA III 6Gbps RAID Controller Card with HyperDuo SSD Tiering – PCIe SATA 3 Controller Adapter (PEXSAT34RH)

Description

The PEXSAT34RH 4-Port PCI Express 2.0 SATA Controller Card with HyperDuo adds
4 AHCI SATA III ports to a computer through a PCIe slot (x2), delivering
multiple internal 6Gbps connections for high-performance hard drives and Solid
State Drives (SSDs). Featuring HyperDuo technology, the SATA card offers SSD
auto-tiering which lets you balance the performance advantages of SSD storage
with the cost-effectiveness and large capacity of standard hard drives. By
combining SSD and HDD drives into a single volume (up to 3 SSD + 1 HDD),
HyperDuo discreetly works in the background to identify and move frequently
accessed files to the faster SSD drive(s) for improved data throughput – up to
80% of SSD performance! (Note: The HyperDuo automatic storage tiering feature
is compatible with computers that use a BIOS.) The PCIe SATA controller card
supports Port Multiplier (PM), enabling multiple SATA drives to be connected
to one port over a single cable, for a total of 7 drives (Up to 4 drives
through PM on one port, and a single drive to the remaining 3 ports). Plus,
the SATA controller card offers an effective hardware RAID solution, with
native RAID (0, 1, 1+0) support. Throughput Benchmark Drive configuration
