The block diagram here:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/g41-express-chipset.html
states:
500 MB/s each x1
But, is this speed for one direction only, or
for both directions combined?
In other words, if I install an x1 PCIe 2.0 RAID controller e.g.
Newegg.com - HighPoint RocketRAID 620 PCI-Express 2.0 x1 SATA III (6.0Gb/s) Controller Card
is the maximum upstream bandwidth limited to 250 MB/s
even though each SATA channel is rated at 300 MB/s?
It would help if the chipset block diagram indicated
the PCI-Express Generation for the x1 slot.
The block diagram does indicate PCI Express 1.1 for the x16 slot.
If the x1 slot is also PCI Express 1.1, THEN the one-way
bandwidth of that x1 slot is 250 MB/second, correct?
Please confirm or correct the above.
RSVP and ... THANKS!
