Ultra133 TX2 PCI EIDE Controller. OEM
Ultra133 supports Ultra ATA/133 drives with burst data transfers up to 133MB per second 33% faster than Ultra
ATA/100 drives. Ultra133 also supports 66MHz PCI motherboards that offer broader bandwidth of up to 266MB/sec over the PCI bus with CRC error-checking, greater data reliability, and faster transfers.
The Promise Ultra133 TX2 is designed to support motherboards with a PCI bus speed of 66MHz (versus earlier 33MHz models). The faster bus speed provides up to 266MB per second bandwidth. The card is backward compatible allowing you to install the controller into a 33MHz PCI bus motherboard where it will allow maximum data transfers of up to 133MB per second across the bus. Please note that actual transfer rates will depend on the capabilities of each device attached to the controller. The controller installs easily into any available PCI slot on your system's motherboard. The Ultra133 TX2 controller card provides two (2) IDE channels that support Ultra ATA/100 protocols, perfect for such demanding applications as real-time video, multimedia, and high-performance operating systems.
Ultra133 TX2's two IDE connectors each support a master / slave combination of IDE devices, including Ultra ATA, EIDE, IDE, Fast-ATA, and ATAPI. Devices of different standards can be connected to Ultra133 TX2 without performance degradation, due to the independent programmable timing registers in the controller's design.
With Ultra133 TX2, you can rely on the world’s most-widely test-ed and implemented ATA BIOS from Promise. Just attach your new Ultra ATA/133 drive(s) and/or older Ultra ATA/100/66/or 33 drives. The Promise BIOS will recognize the make, model, and best speed setting for peak drive performance.
