If you've ever gone shopping for a hard to find part or cable for your computer, chances are you've come across the name StarTech. Founded in 1985 by Paul Seed and Ken Kalopsis, StarTech is an ISO 9001 registered manufacturer of hard-to-find connectivity parts for the IT and professional A/V industries. From the latest technology to legacy products, the company offers a broad range of products and is dedicated to making it easy for IT professionals to identify, find and get the parts they need to enable their solutions.
This spring, StarTech introduced two new PCI Express SATA RAID controller cards. Based on Marvell's 88SE9230, the PEXSAT34RH and PEXSAT34SFF are fully compliant with the SATA 3.0 specifications and support hardware RAID 0, 1, and 1+0 modes. Port Multiplier FIS-based and Command-based switching is also supported on all ports, enabling multiple SATA drives to be connected using a single cable, for a total of 7 drives. Where the PEXSAT34RH and PEXSAT34SFF differ is the number and type of internal ports. Where the PEXSAT34RH has four SATA 6Gbps ports, the PEXSAT34SFF has a single Mini-SAS (SFF-8087) port that can be used with a Mini-SAS to 4x SATA breakout cable or Mini-SAS SFF-8087 backplane.
The PEXSAT34RH and PEXSAT34SFF also feature support for Marvell's HyperDuo SSD auto-tiering technology, which balances the performance advantages of SSD storage with the cost-effectiveness and large capacity of standard hard drives. The technology uses intelligent algorithms to automatically migrate hot data to SSDs, while enabling all data to be safely stored on larger capacity hard drives.
