PCI and PCI-X SATA Host Cards

 

 

  All the SATA Host card choices here are port multiplier capable and have similar performance capabilities.Both are top of the line cards that can be combined with Burly Port Multiplier Enclosures in massive RAID0 or JBOD storage systems. With enough hard drives in a RAID0, and in a PCI-X computer, we have tested arrays that exceed 800 MB/sec using these host cards. State of the art 'zoom zoom' for your computer! These cards will also mount all drives connected to them individually or in any combinations of RAID and non RAID. The versatility is amazing.

NOTE: Late model G5 Dual Core (2 ethernet ports) and MacPro Towers go to PCIe SATA Host cards page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We are here to help!

 

Recommended cards:

   PCI-X G5s (8 RAM Slot) can equally use any of the listed cards.

   G4 and PCI G5 (4 RAM Slot) should go with the Sonnet X4P

  PCI and PCI-X capable PCs will get great service from either card
