Serial ATA interface rides in on PMC
The PMCSATA is a Serial ATA (SATA) disk drive interface featuring conduction cooling
This low cost PMC module uses the SiI3112A PCI to Serial ATA controller and provides two Serial ATA channels with data transfer rates of 150Mbyte/s over a 1m cable length. Designed to interface to the latest storage devices the PMCSATA provides a convenient connection method using compact round cables rather than the more cumbersome ribbon cables required by IDE and SCSI devices.
