Product Description
The Pacific Digital DiscStaQ ADMA ATA disk controller is an innovation in disk storage technology that dramatically improves system performance using standard off-the-shelf ATA storage devices. This patent-pending technology optimizes several areas of system operation including PCI bus utilization; CPU utilization, memory utilization; ATA command queuing and dual drive operation.The ATA protocol requires many PCI bus activities - a minimum of 8 I/O requests and 1 interrupt per command. Because of these interrupts, even a drive with Command Queuing is very limited in making use of the proprietary algorithms embedded in each manufacturers drive. ADMA technology from Pacific Digital using a standard Command Queuing ATA100 drive can process the same number of I/O transactions as the equivalent Ultra 160 SCSI drive, but at the cost of ATA100. Even when non-Command Queuing drives are used, the Pacific Digital DiscStaQ ADMA ATA disk controller still outperforms other ATA controllers.
