The Rosewill RC-211 PCI-E SATA II Card is a peripheral device designed to enhance the performance of personal computers. This SATA controller is a half-height PCI-e card with a Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection (ZMCP) equipped PCIe SATA II RAID controller that operates at a speed of 3GB/s. Installing this device exposes your desktop or workstation to accessing faster data transfers, larger capacity storage options, and a connection speed rate enhance for cheap through advanced host bus aperture 2.0 architecture.

Features

• Compatible with Windows 7 32-bit systems
• Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection forces cached data to flash memory in case of power failure
• Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) memory maximizes your system's uptime while providing the easiest way to eliminate soft memory errors.
• Multiple RAID modes ensure network flexibility by running a RAID 0, RAID 1 or JBOD
• eSATA support to function with external drives perfectly, providing fast data transfer speeds—3Gbps

• Package Dimension on this 11” (W) x 2.25” (D) x 6.25” (H) Card

Using Technologies

• Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection for safeguard big data-time and resolve downtime with firmware-controlled integrity sentries.
• HighPoint RAID Recovery Method thoroughly analyzes damaged redundant data and provides an estimated hundred backup which helps to repair or restore RAID.
• ECC memory checks verify whether critical secure data bytes are correct data so immediate crucial data recovery can restore data faster.
• Firmware-Based RAID Configuration permits placing destination storage for applications on physical hard drives onto logical pooling source drivers with less redundancy.

Known Issues with the Device

• The Rosewill RC-211 may become incompatible with some motherboards, especially if they are older models.
• Large drives might register as raw discs, yet upgraded firmware will allow extended compatibility and fix device compatibility dilemmas;
• If other SATA products are negatively affected, a heatsink, a high-end expander, and guaranteed placement on workstation or entire chip-set placement are improved.
