Serial ATA RAID
The onboard VT8237A southbridge provides the complete solution to your RAID requirements on different disk array standards, and supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD on 2 Serial ATA ports.
PCI-Express
PCI Express is the latest I/O interconnect technology that will replace the existing PCI. With a bus bandwidth 4 times higher than that of AGP 8X interface, PCI Express x16 bus performs much better than AGP 8X in applications such as 3D gaming. PCI Express x1 also outperforms PCI interface with its exceptional high bandwidth up to 500MB/s. The high speed PCI Express interface creates new usages on desktop PCs e.g., Gigabit LAN, 1394b, and high-speed RAID systems.
