What is Marvell Miniport?

[arizonajack]

I bought a used Dell Inspiron 6000 with Windows 7 and I was cleaning out stuff that the previous owner had that I don't want.

One item is Marvell Miniport Driver.

I found tons of sources online but none of them explain what it is.

Anybody know?

It might be a driver for an external SATA drive. I have a Marvell driver for that on my PC. It isn't a big deal to leave it there if you eventually want to use an eSATA drive, or you can delete it if you don't plan to use one.

Thanks, I'll leave it alone.
