ICP Disk Array Controllers GDT8546RZ GDT8546RZ is a 4-channel PCI RAID controller offering demands for inexpensive entry-level RAID solutions. Its the option of connecting up to four serial ATA drives. compact construction allows GDT8546RZ to be used in Parallel ATA (IDE) disk drives can be linked with an low profile systems. The controller is not only suitable optional accessory. The controller is based on the for high density and/or entry-level rackmount servers, but Serial AT Attachment (SATA) technology, satisfying the also for high-end desktops and workstations.
