The Tech Report “There's more to the (ATI) SB600 than just performance improvements, though. ATI has also added features, including support for 300 MB/s Serial ATA transfer rates and Native Command Queuing to the chip's SATA controller. That controller's RAID capabilities have also been bolstered, with ATI adding support for four-drive RAID 10 arrays to complement RAID 0 and RAID 1.” (Tech Report)
