The ASMedia ASM1153E is a powerful USB to SATA bridge controller that is commonly used in various external storage solutions. Although the ASM1153E itself may appear as a "SCSI Disk Device", this refers to the way the device is recognized by an operating system when connected to a computer. Here is a detailed overview of the ASMedia ASM1153E, including its technical details, features and application areas:
General description
The ASMedia ASM1153E is a USB to SATA bridge controller designed to create a connection between a USB port and a SATA drive. It allows SATA hard drives or SSDs to be used via a USB port, providing an easy way to use internal storage devices externally. The ASM1153E is particularly useful in external hard drive enclosures and docking stations.
Technical details
1. Interfaces:
- USB 3.1 Gen 1 (USB 3.0): The ASM1153E supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, also known as USB 3.0, with a maximum data transfer rate of up to 5 Gb/s (about 625 MB/s).
- SATA III (SATA 6 Gb/s): The controller supports the SATA III interface, which enables a maximum transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s (about 600 MB/s).
2. Performance:
- Data transfer rate: The ASM1153E enables a high data transfer rate that combines the advantages of the USB 3.0 and SATA III standards. In practice, transfer rates may vary depending on the SSD or hard drive used and system configuration.
3. Compatibility:
- SATA drives: The controller is compatible with 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA hard drives as well as SATA SSDs.
- USB Hosts: It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, which means it can also be used in older USB ports, but at reduced speed.
4. Chipset:
- ASMedia ASM1153E: The specified controller chip provides the bridge function between USB and SATA by transferring data from one interface to the other.
5. Power supply:
- Power Management: The controller supports power management functions to optimize power consumption, especially in idle mode.
6. Security and bug fixes:
- TRIM command: The ASM1153E supports the TRIM command for SSDs, which helps optimize the performance and lifetime of SSDs by freeing up data areas that are no longer needed.
- Data integrity: The controller uses error correction mechanisms to ensure the integrity of the transmitted data.
Features
- High transfer rates: Thanks to support for USB 3.0 and SATA III, the ASM1153E can provide high data transfer rates, resulting in faster read and write operations.
- Easy Integration: The controller enables easy integration of SATA drives into USB external enclosures or docking stations without the need for special drivers.
- Backwards Compatibility: The ASM1153E is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, meaning devices with older USB ports can be used, albeit at reduced speed.
- TRIM Support: Supports TRIM command for SSDs, which improves the performance and longevity of SSDs.
Scope
- External Hard Drive Enclosures: The ASM1153E is commonly used in external hard drive enclosures to make internal SATA drives available via a USB port.
- Docking stations: In docking stations for SATA drives, the ASM1153E can be used to connect to a computer and enable fast data transfer.
- Data Migration: It is often used for data migration or backup solutions as it allows to transfer data from internal SATA drives to an external media.
- Portability: The controller is also used in portable storage solutions to enable easy and quick connection to different computers.
Conclusion
The ASMedia ASM1153E is a high-performance USB to SATA bridge controller that offers high data transfer rate and wide compatibility with SATA drives and USB ports. It enables easy and efficient use of SATA HDDs and SSDs via USB ports, making it an ideal choice for external hard drive enclosures, docking stations and portable storage solutions. With support for high transfer rates and the TRIM command for SSDs, the ASM1153E offers both performance and reliability in various storage applications.
