Marvell 88SE9215
1-Lane PCIe 2.0 to Four-Port 6Gbps SATA I/O Controller
Overview
The PCI Express SATA 6Gbps expansion card has 4- SATA GEN III 6Gb/s channels Host controller, that brings server-class features to the desktop . This board enable the use of the industry's newest and fastest hard drivers at 6Gb/s while providing backward compatibility to legacy SATA1.5Gb/s or 3Gb/s drives. It will enhance system performance for every type of computer user. Each PCI-Express 2.0 lane provides up to 500MB/S of throughput. Using the RAID function, the SATA drivers attached to this controller can be easily configured as 4 individual ports with no RAID.
