The latest in Silicon Image's SATALink¢â family, the SiI 3726¢â is a 1-to-5 Serial ATA (SATA) Port Multiplier designed to provide a high-performance link between a single SATA host port and five SATA device ports. With its unique data aggregation and 3Gbps serial link capabilities, the SiI 3726 takes full advantage of 3Gbps host links and FIS-based switching host controllers, like the Silicon Image SiI 3124, to provide ultra-fast read and write performance. The feature-rich SiI 3726 supports all port multiplier-related SATA II extensions, allowing system designers to exploit the full potential of SATA II across their storage solutions. System designers using the SiI 3726 can dramatically reduce their system cabling needs and simplify high-speed PCB designs.
The SiI 3132 offers advanced RAID capability through Silicon Image's SATARaid¢â software RAID management utility, which comes bundled with the chip. The SiI 3132 supports RAID 0 and 1 when two drives are connected directly to the chip's two SATA ports. When multiple drives are connected to the SiI 3132 via a port multiplier such as Silicon Image's SiI 3726¢â, RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 are supported.
Kit Includes:
CGS-3726-A1 Bridge Board
Y-Shape DC Power Cable (Red, Black, Black, Yellow)
