Introduction
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 Windows® XP, Vista, 7 and 8 only)
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.
