Built in Silicon Image RISC storage processor takes the load off of the computer CPU!
Complete with installed and tested hi-performance SATA II hard drives - up to
10TB!
These Sil-4726 based SATA 5 Drive Arrays are the affordable, reliable and scalable solution for audio/video editing, small
office/home office and small to medium-sized storage! The hi-performance
hard drives and the built in Silicon Image hardware RAID processor are capable of delivering over 230 megabytes per second of input/output
throughput!
For demanding performance applications such as video or audio editing, digital imaging, sophisticated data manipulation, or
the fastest gaming platform in town, configure the array as a striped disk
array (RAID 0), simultaneously accessing multiple drives for blazing fast disk performance.
Or, configure it as a mirrored array (RAID 1) or striped and
mirrored array (RAID 10). Supports auto rebuild, auto fail over, hot swap and hot
spare without the use of CPU resources. At a speedy 100 gigabytes per
hour, the array can quickly re-establish a mirrored drive set after a
failed drive has been replaced.
RAID Level Modes:
- FAST or Data Striping (RAID 0) — allows the enclosure to performance stripe the drives, to provide maximum throughput to the direct attached PC/Server.
- SAFE or Data Mirroring (RAID 1) — allows the enclosure to automatically copy primary hard drive without any CPU
loading*. The enclosure provides automatic rebuild on device replacement and auto-failover, to eliminate any workflow interruptions.
- SAFE & FAST or Data Striping and Mirroring (RAID 10) — allows the
enclosure to improve data availability beyond RAID 5 or RAID 6 with large SATA drives, due to rebuild vulnerability.
- SAFE & BIG Mode or Drive Spanning and Mirroring — allows for large capacity with protection.
- BIG or Drive Spanning — allows the enclosure to make any two drives (same or different sizes) appear as one large drive to the host, for extra capacity (also called concatenation).
- JBOD or Port Multiplier — this allows the direct attached PC/Server to see
the drives in the enclosure as just a bunch of drives.
Data Protection Features:
-
Automatic-Mirroring (RAID 1 mode)*
-
Self-healing storage (Auto-Rebuild/Hot Spare)*
-
No down time (Automatic-Failover)*
-
Less than 1% Host CPU loading during rebuild*
-
Fast rebuild of 100GB/hour
-
Easy configuration using GUI applet
-
Drive Performance Aggregation (RAID 0)
*SAFE or RAID 1 modes require that the Silicon Image daemon/agent application to be running for automatic rebuild policy operation.
