The three new USB SuperSpeed 3.0-to-SATA controllers (OXU3102, OXU3101 and OXU3100) targeting the rapidly expanding consumer storage market. The three new USB provide the highest performance of direct attached storage (DAS) products using the emerging USB SuperSpeed standard. USB SuperSpeed-enabled external storage peripherals are expected to drive the considerable demand for this new high-speed connectivity among PCs and peripherals. The new OXU3102 DAS controller, the flagship member of the family, targets the “prosumer” (professional- and power-consumer) market segment and combines USB SuperSpeed’s 5Gbps interface with dual high-speed SATA hard disk drive (HDD) ports. The midrange OXU3101 for portable computing and desktops offers the same features but bridges to a single SATA HDD. Both the OXU3102 and OXU3101 feature integrated AES-256 encryption/decryption capabilities to ensure the highest level of data security. The entry-level OXU3100 provides the essential features for basic SuperSpeed-to-SATA designs…
