Summary
- Compatible with Linux 2.6.19.
- The Rocket 620 is the industry's first PCI-Express 2.0 host adapter delivering SATA connectivity up to 500MB/s on a single PCI-Express x1 lane.
- Non-RAID.
- This card SATA (not PATA) interface are not affected by the
corrupted PATA interface on Marvell 88se9123 that it is using.
Notes
- Tested with Trisquel 7.0 Belenos [please add that to the list h-node admins].
- This is a controller type AHCI, not HECI [please add that to the list h-node admins].
Hardware configuration
Mounted on 1× PCI-e port (a PCIe card fits into a slot of its physical size or larger, with ×16 as the largest used).
Working on any SATA port.
