Description
The article discusses the MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card, which is a PCI Express card that is designed to improve the performance of desktop computers that are equipped with PCI Express slots. The card supports UDMA6 data transfer rates of up to 133MBps and full-speed burst transfers on the ATA bus. The card also supports RAID data storage support, allowing users to configure the card for stability, speed or a single large drive.

PCI Express Balances Cost, Performance, Compatibility and Advanced Features for Computing Platforms
PCI Express-enabled desktop computers can take full advantage of PCI Express efficiency with the MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card. Easily installed, it adds one internal ATA 133 port to connect data storage and other IDE devices.
Fast Data Transfer
The MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card supports UDMA6 data transfer rates of up to 133MBps and full-speed burst transfers on the ATA bus. Using 48-bit LBA, it breaks the size limit of 137 GB hard drives to support larger storage devices. Compliance with PCI Express 1.0a ensures that most PCI Express Card-equipped notebook computers and connected IDE devices can operate at peak performance.
RAID Data Storage Support
The RAID scheme allows for greater flexibility when using multiple hard drives to share or replicate data. Users can configure the MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card for stability, speed or a single large drive. The MANHATTAN ATA 133 RAID PCI Express Card supports JBOD to combine all drives into a single "virtual" disk drive. RAID 0 (striping) helps to increase the performance of data transfer by simultaneously writing data to multiple drives. RAID 1 (mirroring) reduces loss risks from disk failure by writing identical data on two drives.
