VIA VT8237R Plus South
Bridge - RAID Done Right! |
 |
Ripping MP3 songs, editing the family video, emailing your holiday
snaps to friends… digital media is becoming more and more part of
our lives, meaning larger and larger file sizes - these days, megabytes
and gigabytes have taken over from bytes and kilobytes.
Storing those memories in an efficient, powerful and affordable
way is important, and older IDE standards of hard drive technologies
are no longer sufficient. Serial ATA represents the new wave of storage
data transfer, and RAID the best of breed new standard for multiple
hard drive configurations.
VIA brings you both in the easiest to use application
with the VIA
VT8237R Plus South Bridge. Boasting advanced connectivity
and multimedia features, the VT8237R Plus couples with
current and next generation North Bridge chipsets to
extend system performance across all major processor
platforms.
See how VIA is again leading the industry,
driving widespread adoption of the next generation storage and serial
technologies through its advanced chipset architecture. |

VIA
is all about enabling the platform for all
major processors, and the unique VIA Modular
Architecture Platform (V-MAP) approach provides
the key. V-MAP means a fast and highly efficient
North/South Bridge chipset interconnect
at up to 1GB/s, it means the VT8237R Plus
South Bridge can be twinned with a wide
range of current and future North Bridges,
and it means shorter development times,
so that performance motherboards and systems
reach store shelves faster.
