Featuring 2 internal SATA2 ports, the Rosewill RC-211 controller card provides a simple, straightforward way to add more expansion to your system. Using a PCI-Express x1 interface you can now use that tiny slot on your motherboard for something besides gathering dust. Also supported is RAID 0, and RAID 1 to enhance data access and control. Compliant with the Serial ATA 2 specification, the RC-211 will handle most SATA devices -- just make sure the device you are adding is compatible. If the hard drives are SATA2, the RC-211 will deliver high speed transfer rates up to 3.0Gbps.
Support for NCQ (Native Command Queue) enhances hard drive performance. Whether you have a tower case or a low profile desktop chassis, the RC-211 can be used by installing the optional low profile bracket. Last but not least, the RC-211 includes drivers for most Windows operating systems including Windows 2000/XP/Vista and Windows Server 2003.
