64-bit/66MHz PCI - MROMB
Hardware MROMB RAID Controller
z
Supports RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 and 10
z
Hot Plug, Auto Hot Plug with SAF-TE support
z

z
Hardware RAID is totally independent of the host and
operating system
RAIDIOS Technology
z
Enables a PCI slot card (MROMB RAID Controller) to
utilize an existing onboard I/O controller. As no
further I/O controller is required, RAID can be offered
at an entry-level price point!
z
It is supported by many different motherboards since
RAIDIOS is an easy to integrate standards-based
enabling technology
