3Ware/AMCC 9000 Series, Continued

The 9000 Series is also still based on serial ATA bridge chips. As a result, the controller does not support command queuing.

The SO-DIMM working at 100 MHz offers 128 MB for cache data, and can be replaced by modules holding up to 512 MB. ECC is supported.

The range of accessories supplied is respectable: There are AMD-compatible 64 bit drivers for Windows XP/2003 and for Red Hat Linux.
