Introduction
Affordable
high performance Serial ATA connectivity for increased
performance and data protection. Ideal for PCs and
workstations requiring optimum system performance
such as audio/video streaming and gaming.
The
Adaptec Serial ATA Host Controller 1205SA offers
improved system reliability by adding 32-bit CRC
error checking for all bits transmitted (command,
data, and status). Parallel ATA provides CRC only
for data packets. Serial ATA also features built-in
support for first-party DMA to eliminate bottlenecks
associated with on-board DMA controllers. It also
minimizes electronic noise that can lead to data
transmission errors.
One
of the biggest breakthroughs offered by the Serial
ATA technology is PC-friendly cabling. The thinner
insulated SATA cables are much easier to install
than the shorter, wider Parallel ATA cables. The
smaller SATA cabling allows for improved airflow
inside the PC chassis for a cooler component environment.
