Areca ARC-1214-4i 4-port SATA

ARECA ARC-1214-4i 4-port SATA (1xSFF8087), 1GB cache,RAID 0/1/1E/3/5/6/10/JBOD,PCI-E 2.0 x8

ARC-12x4 internal PCIe 2.0 host RAID controllers are a cost-effective solutions for connecting up to 4 6Gb/s SATA peripheral devices. The RAID controllers are based on the same RAID kernel of field-proven internal/external RAID controller and same device driver architecture with widely used 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller. Applications that benefit most features from these controllers include NAS, server RAID solutions, web servers, near-line backup, security systems and streaming applications. ARC-1214-4I
support directly attached 4 internal 6Gb/s SATA ports via 1 SFF-8087 connector.
