  building on the proven steelvine ? storage architecture, the sil 4723 ? provides a new level of affordable storage. the sii 4723 provides 3gb/s sata performance over the single host sata link as well as the dual device sata links, and can be configured for internal or external (esata) applications. until now, transfer rates of 3gb/s and hardware raid features were only available to enterprise class applications. sii 4723 allows oems and system integrators to offer high-end features for price-sensitive mass market applications. users of the sii 4723 eliminate cpu loading by using the embedded risc steelvine storage processor. this innovative new technology provides approximately 6 times performance of usb 2.0 and approximately two times the performance of 1394b. the sii 4723 embedded risc storage processor was developed by silicon image and tuned for the needs of storage applications.this storage processor completely frees up the main cpu and provides the enhanced raid mode completely from hardware. the device can be strapped in a single mode configuration to provide reliable data mirroring, data performance striping, or just plain capacity expansion. the sii 4723 modes are: 1) safe or data mirroring (raid 1) C allows device to automatically copy primary hard drive without any cpu loading. the sii 4723 provides automatic rebuild on device replacement and auto-failover, to eliminate any workflow interruptions. 2) fast or data striping (raid 0) C allows the device to performance stripe the drives, to provide maximum throughput to the direct attached pc/server. 3) big or drive spanning C allows the device to make any two drives (same or different sizes) appear as one large drive to the host, for extra capacity (also called concatenation). 4) jbod or port multiplier this allows the direct attached pc/server to see each drive as single drives (pm mode requires a host that is pm-aware.) the sii 4723 works with any serial ata compliant host port, although more function- ality is supported when it is connected to a port multiplier aware host controller such as sii 3124 ? or sii 3132 ? . for more details, please contact your local silicon image sales representative. applications ? external storage enclosures ? backup systems ? embedded ce applications ? video editing systems ? nearline das storage ? protected soho/smb storage si i 4723 sata to 2-port 3gb/s sata steelvine storage processor host sata port si i 4723 sata to 2-port sata storage processor 3gb/s secondary port b secondary port a 3gb/s 3gb/s system status fdd power regulators eeprom gpios leds si i 3124 34874_simage 4723_0810.qxd 8/31/05 13:04 page 1
