SATA to PATA bridge adaptor, featuring the Marvell 88i8030 bridge chip. Allows use of Parallel ATA components (IDE) in systems configured with SATA. Use extra IDE devices with spare SATA ports. Don't let your legacy technology die!

Features SATA 1.5Gb/s to PATA-133 compatable with ATAPI and UDMA-33/66/133.

The Marvell 88i8030 bridge chip is designed to interface to traditional Parallel ATA HDD controllers as well as to host chipsets running up to 150 MBps. Since the bridge allows parallel connectivity over short trace distances, the 88i8030 product allows for 150 MBps transfer rates with low noise and high reliability. The 88i8030's PHY leverages four generations of production-proven Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) technology from its industry-leading Alaska Gigabit PHY products. The Marvell bridge device implements SSC for reduced EMI in storage systems. This makes the interface attractive not only as an inside-the-box technology, but also potentially increases its usefulness for out-of-the-box interconnects in many consumer electronics applications.
