Host Interface – SATA III

The RDX

SATA III Dock interfaces to the Host computer via a standard SATA

receptacle. The table below summarizes the signals on the SATA Host connector.

Software Interface

RDX

QuikStor SATA III connects to a Host computer via a SATA interface. The

device uses the ATAPI command set to transport SCSI commands over the
interface. RDX

is a block-access device and the Host computer has direct access to

each logical block. File system management is controlled by the Host computer.

For information on the software interface, refer to the RDX-SCSI Specification.
