1. Introduction:  
Serial ATA (SATA) is the latest form of computer connectivity, featuring faster transfer  
speeds, easier configuration, and the ability to hot swap drives. With the Vantec  
SATA/eSATA PCI Host Controller, the SATA/eSATA PCI-Express Host Controller, or  
the 2-Port eSATA PCMCIA CardBus, you can add the features and functionality of  
eSATA to your computer or notebook. By providing an internal SATA port, the PCI and  
PCI-Express Host Controllers offer the expanadability to add a hard drive to you  
system. With the external SATA port, each of these controllers give the flexibility of  
adding a high speed connection to an external hard drive. Traditionally, one would use  
USB 2.0 to connect to external hard drives. While USB 2.0 offers reasonably fast  
speeds at 480Mbps, SATA transfers at a speed of up to 3Gbps! Take advantage of  
SATA on your computer with the Vantec SATA/eSATA PCI Host Controller, PCI-  
Express Host Controller, or the 2-Port eSATA PCMCIA CardBus.
