Controller Handles Multiple Hard Drives: Page 2 of 2

NetCell Corp., claims its TurboDisk chip can control up to five hard drives while providing better performance and data protection than RAID Level 5 controllers, at a lower cost.
November 30, 2003

The initial implementation is on either a 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI card with ports for five ATA drives and 128 Mbytes of cache, or a 32-bit, 66-MHz PCI card controlling three ATA drives with up to 64 Mbytes of cache. A Marvell bridge is available to link to serial ATA drives. "This chip allows us to go to the mainstream market," Mills said.
