| Highest performance
SATA II RAID |
The SATA II RAID controller delivers
over 800MB/sec RAID 5 reads and exceeds 380MB/sec
RAID 5 writes, making it 200% faster than the
industry-leading RAID controller.
7th generation StorSwitch™ non-blocking switch
fabric technology and sophisticated SATA II
features including 3 Gbps transfer speed, Native
Command Queuing (NCQ), and Port Multiplier support
drive this unmatched performance.
Combined with an advanced RAID management feature
set that includes web-based, command-based,
and API software components, the 9550SX, available
in 4, 8, 12, and 16-port configurations, is
the most compelling RAID solution available. |
