1. Introduction: Serial ATA (SATA) is the latest form of computer connectivity, featuring faster transfer speeds, easier configuration, and the ability to hot swap drives. With the Vantec SATA/eSATA PCI Host Controller, the SATA/eSATA PCI-Express Host Controller, or the 2-Port eSATA PCMCIA CardBus, you can add the features and functionality of eSATA to your computer or notebook. By providing an internal SATA port, the PCI and PCI-Express Host Controllers offer the expanadability to add a hard drive to you system. With the external SATA port, each of these controllers give the flexibility of adding a high speed connection to an external hard drive. Traditionally, one would use USB 2.0 to connect to external hard drives. While USB 2.0 offers reasonably fast speeds at 480Mbps, SATA transfers at a speed of up to 3Gbps! Take advantage of SATA on your computer with the Vantec SATA/eSATA PCI Host Controller, PCIExpress Host Controller, or the 2-Port eSATA PCMCIA CardBus.
