100MB/s for each ATA channel and 150MB/s for each sATA port.

Nobody has tryed measuring totals when using more than two at once.

Thank you.

150 MB each. Not shared.

I thought we were at 133MB/s? ...or is that for PCI add-in cards?

> ...and 150MB/s for each sATA port.


Got it. So two S-ATA drives on each port, with a 60MB/s throughput in a
RAID 0 situation, would be a simple case of doubling and would result in
120MB/s?

> Nobody has tryed measuring totals when using more than two at once.


Nobody has tried? Amazing.

@drian.

Did they test 4 ATA drives, or a mix of 3+ ATA/SATA drives? Did they get over
120MB/s?

2 ATA + 2 PATA. 200-220MB/s total.
The test is more to see what the MoBo chipset can do.
