IPA-SA149-BR – SATA 2 Port High Capacity Bridge

The IPA-SA149-BR SATA 2Port High Capacity Bridge “HydraLP” is an integrated circuit that increases the amount of storage and improves performance by aggregating two SATA drives into one and presents these multiple physical SATA storage devices as a single logical unit to the host. HYDRALP based volumes are capable of reaching 2X the capacity of a single drive and with Native Command Queuing support (NCQ), very high performance is achieved in both read and write modes maximizing IOPS and throughput.
