RAID controller card Startech 2P6GR-PCIE-SATA-CARD

The Startech 2P6GR-PCIE-SATA-CARD RAID controller card is a component designed to expand and optimize the storage capacity of computer systems and servers by providing two SATA III 6 Gbps ports, compatible with HDD hard drives and SSD solid-state drives, via a PCI Express 2.0 x2 interface. This card, finished in red and adaptable for full or low profile with the included interchangeable bracket, integrates the ASM1062R controller that ensures reliable, high-speed data transfer performance. Its architecture supports versatile hardware RAID configurations, including RAID 0 (striped) to improve read/write speed by combining both drives, RAID 1 (mirroring) to ensure data security through duplication, stability via SPAN (big) to increase total space, and JBOD which uses drives independently, adapting to different storage needs and scenarios. It meets modern standards and offers broad multi-platform compatibility, working with operating systems such as Windows (7 to 11), macOS (10.10 and later), and Linux (kernel 2.6.32 and newer). Additionally, it supports RAID management from BIOS on both Windows and Linux and provides configuration and monitoring software for Windows, while macOS can use software RAID via its native assistant. The card is plug-and-play, facilitating installation in desktop PCs with PCIe slots, and also allows connection of optical devices like CD, DVD, or Blu-ray drives, enhancing its versatility. With compact dimensions of 121 mm height, 69 mm width, and 22 mm depth, this solution offers efficient internal storage expansion, suitable for users needing to improve performance and data redundancy in professional or home environments. In summary, the Startech 2P6GR-PCIE-SATA-CARD is a reliable and flexible option to add additional SATA storage with hardware RAID support, ensuring stability and compatibility in modern and legacy systems.
