If you want fast storage nowadays you buy a mainboard with RAID support, or you buy an optional RAID PCI card, but most of you will probably use IDE HD's.
You might think your IDE RAID is fast, but what about a Ultra320 SCSI RAID setup ? The company LSILogic is the first to market a PCI card that supports Ultra320 RAID setups.
Through support for 64-bit addressing, a robust RAID feature set, and advanced fault tolerance, memory, and caching policies, LSI Logic Ultra320 MegaRAID® solutions deliver enterprise-class data throughput, fault tolerant capabilities, and easy-to-use management utilities that are essential in both high-end servers and workstations where performance, reliability and availability are essential. |
This first-to-market family of Ultra320 RAID solutions will include the zero-channel MegaRAID SCSI 320-0, the single-channel MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 and the dual-channel MegaRAID SCSI 320-2.
Designed with a low-profile (MD2) form factor for tight enclosure environments, the MegaRAID SCSI 320-0 and MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 incorporate high-performance I/O processor-based technology, and are ideal for demanding, yet cost sensitive server I/O environments. The half-size, dual channel MegaRAID SCSI 320-2, featuring the LSI Logic LSI53C1030 dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller, targets high-performance mid-range servers and I/O intensive workstation environments.
As some visitors are still calling for SCSI devices, I wonder how many of those will grab their money and get a card like this with some HD's
