Key Features

OXUFS936QSE-PBA is a highly specialized controller designed for storage systems that need to manage several interfaces in one device. It supports USB, 1394, and eSATA connectivity while controlling up to four SATA ports, so it fits complex storage hardware well. In addition, its RAID-focused design makes it useful for products that need organized multi-drive communication and dependable interface bridging.

Another strength is integration. Rather than using several separate devices, this controller helps simplify board design by combining key storage interface functions into one digital IC. As a result, it is well suited for legacy storage products, embedded systems, and external drive hardware that need a compact controller solution.

Applications

External RAID storage enclosures
Multi-bay SATA drive docks
USB to SATA RAID bridge boards
1394 to SATA storage systems
eSATA storage interface modules
Disk duplication equipment
Backup and recovery appliances
Embedded storage controller boards
Legacy storage repair systems
Industrial data storage hardware

Product Overview

The PLX Technology OXUFS936QSE-PBA is a digital controller IC built for advanced storage interface management. It is intended for designs that connect external interfaces such as USB, 1394, and eSATA to multiple SATA drives. Because of that, it is a strong fit for products that need both interface conversion and four-port SATA RAID control in one component.

This part is especially useful in storage enclosures, duplication systems, and embedded hardware that require multi-drive support. Moreover, it helps support designs where compatibility with older or mixed storage standards still matters. That makes it valuable for both legacy hardware support and specialized industrial systems.

From a category standpoint, this part clearly belongs in Semiconductors → Digital. It is not a memory device, analog IC, optoelectronic component, or power management part. Instead, its role is centered on digital data handling, protocol control, and RAID-based storage communication. Even though it is an older controller, it can still be important for repair stock, replacement demand, and support of legacy platforms that require the exact device.
