Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Serial ATA RAID controller card. This product
allows you to safeguard your data using multiple SATA hard drives. With support for
RAID levels 0, 1, 0+1, 5 and JBOD features, you can enjoy a great deal of flexibility to
configure a solution that meets your needs and your budget. If you are looking to add
the speed of SATA devices to your computer but aren’t ready to implement your array yet,
you can use the PCISATA4R1 as a typical four port SATA controller without using the
RAID function.
