FastTrak SX4060 4-Channels ATA RAID 5 PCI Adapter |
|
Specification
- Mfr Part Number: FASTTRAK SX4060
- Features:
- Automatic/manual rebuild of hot spare drive
- Variable stripe block size support enables optimization for
diverse application requirements
- Seamless upgrade to Promises external storage solutions
- Controller Specifications:
- Drive support: Upto 4x Ultra ATA/133 drives
- Storage capacity: Upto 1 TB (with 4x 250GB drives)
- Bus type: 32-bit 66MHz PCI bus; PCI 2.2 compliant
- Promise RAID Processor with XOR engine for RAID parity
calculations and memory controller for local cache memory
- Cache memory: 64MB ECC
- FRAM for RAID 5 transaction log to avoid data corruption in the
event of application hangs
- Built-in GPIO ports for enclosure management
- RAID Levels Supported:
- RAID 0: Data striped across 2~4 drives for increased performance
but no data protection
- RAID 1: Mirrored pairs of drives for data protection with
increased read performance
- RAID 5: Striped parity on 3~4 drives, ultimate data protection,
capacity and performance balance
- RAID 10: Data mirrored then striped across four drives, for double
drive failure protection
- JBOD: Just a Bunch of Drives, independent connected drives with no
RAID interconnection
- RAID Fault Tolerance and Robustness Features:
- Online array expansion and RAID level migration to add capacity on
the fly
- PerfectRAID technology for error handling and recovery of fatal,
media and disk errors
- DRM (Drive Roaming Metadata) technology:
- Supports upgrade to any Promise storage sub-subsystem
- Supports drive roaming to any port on the controller
- Allows array roaming in the event of controller failure
- Support hot swap of failed drives and hot spare
- Automatic/manual rebuild of hot spare drive
- Background initialization for instant drive availability
- Background rebuild, migration and synchronization
- Error and event logging
- Variable stripe block size support to meet various application
requirements
- Optimal disk utilization with gigabyte rounding
- Support for SMART capable drives
- Synchronization can be scheduled periodically for RAID array data
consistency
- Advanced Performance Features:
- Multiple caching policy support:
- Write-back: Write-back cache for maximum write performance
- Write-through: Write-through cache for data protection in the
event of application freeze
- Read ahead: Predictive read ahead caching based on application
and data types
- Packet commands and interrupt coalescing minimize interrupts for
better performance
- Elevator seek streamlines commands based on where data is located
on the disk
- Load balancing (mirrored RAID array only)
- Operating Systems: Windows 2000/ XP/
2003
