ST-124

Raid5 SATA II – 3Gbps 4Ports Low Profile PCI Host

Native SATA II - 300 4Ports with Port Multiplier, NCQ, Raid5, Raid10, Raid0 and Raid1!

RAID 5 (Distributed Parity RAID), JBOD (Just Bunch of Disks), RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring) and RAID 0+1 (mirrored-stripping) improve the data performance and provide the data redundancy and rebuilding.
