Marvell 88SE9128/9120/9125/9111/9110
SATA 6Gb/s RAID Controllers
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell
®
88SE91xx host controllers offer cost-effective solutions for connecting Serial ATA (SATA) or Parallel
ATA (PATA) peripherals to a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 host. Each host controller supports one or more 6 Gb/s SATA
and one 133 MB/s PATA peripheral interface ports and a one-lane PCIe 2.0 host interface. In addition, it features
advanced hardware encryption to protect user data on the fly and hardware RAID to offload the host CPU. A
complete suite of RAID 0/1 software is provided, including the OS device driver, BIOS/FW, and a management
utility. RAID 5/10 is also available as an option when the 88SE91xx is connected with a SATA port multiplier.
