What is the SATA card?
Discs of serial advanced technologies (SATA) are on modern computers a number of hard drives. Older computers did not have SATA features and disks cannot use. To resolve this restriction, older computers can use the SATA card so that one or more SATA discs can connect it. SATA card is a type of expansion card similar to sound or graphics card. These cards offer access to large modern discs, but tend to be buggy and are difficult to configure them. These slots are often used to install other network cards, port cards and audio cards. They are common on most standard personal computers. The only machines that do not have expansion slots are extremely compact systems such as gaming computers or other portable desktop systems.
SATA card allows users without SATA capacity to use SATA or SATA users to use additional units. These containers contain a controller similar to those that are standard on the motherboard. This controller works as a decayLinking the main motherboard systems, allowing other units to be used. The standard SATA card has space for one to four internal units and zero up to two external units.
Depending on the age of the computer and the type of SATA card installed, the user will have different results. Some computers deactivate the installed units on the computer in favor of discs installed via the card. Other systems will have difficulty using internal and external SATA units simultaneously.
Most of the older motherboards used a parallel interface for advanced technologies or integrated power electronics interface (heel and IDE). These systems would normally allow four units on one computer. Some older systems have a limit of four drives hard to the system; In order to install new units, older ports must be deactivated.
Some SATA cards have a limit tothe number of active ports at a given moment. For example, a card with two internal ports and one external port can be a "two port" card, although it has space for three units. When the unit is connected to an external port, one of the internal ports will not work. This is very common in older SATA cards and has become less common since then.
While some SATA cards are simply driving unpacking, some also contain a redundant range of independent disks (RAID) chip. This allows users to connect units to the card and set the ramp to your computer. This raid is independent of normal disk systems, so it is suitable for backup and long -term storage.
