There were also announced two mainboards – Serial ATA controller for PCI interface and a four-port Serial ATA RAID controller supporting RAID level 0, 1, 1/0 and 5 (apparently, it will be demonstrated at IDF, as we told you here). Pre-release versions of Serial ATA RAID controller will be available to order in the Q’2 of 2002.
Frankly speaking, we haven’t quite got the point: why is Adaptec in such a hurry? They could easily make this announcement a quarter or two later. We suppose this standard is not that important as to start the fuss so early. Well, Adaptec decides for itself...
