88SE9230A1-NAA2C000

The Marvell 88SE9230 host controllers as cost-effective solutions for connecting Serial ATA (SATA) peripherals. The Marvell 88SE9230 connect SATA III devices to a PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 host, delivering up to 1 Gigabyteper-second (GB/s) bandwidth. Each host controller supports two or four 6 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) SATA peripheral interface ports and a two-lane 5.0 Gb/s PCIe host interface. In addition, it features hardware RAID running with an enhanced ARM-based processor to offload the host CPU; Marvell proprietary Marvell HyperDuo technology for automated solid-state drive (SSD)/hard disk drive(HDD) tiering; on-the-fly AES 128/256-bit encryption for connected SATA SSD/HDD devices; and AHCI interface for in-box driver support. A complete suite of RAID 0/1/10 and HyperDuo software is provided, including the OS device driver, BIOS/Firmware and management utility. The Marvell 88SE9230 host controllers allow for a small footprint, highly integrated SATA III design that will enable high performing yet cost-effective HDD, SSD and other peripheral designs.
