Overview
Unparalleled Performance The SATA-II RAID controllers raise the standard to higher performance levels with several enhancements including Intel high-performance I/O Processor (500 MHz), a new DDR memory architecture (DDR333) and high performance PCI-X bus interconnection. Unsurpassed Data Availability The SATA-II RAID adapters with extreme performance ASIC RAID 6 engine installed provide the highest RAID 6 feature to and delivers RAID 5 performance. The SATA-II RAID adapters can also provide RAID levels 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 6 and JBOD RAID for maximum configuration flexibility and data availability. Maximum Interoperability Areca SATA-II RAID adapters support broad operating systems include Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Red Hat Linux (Open Source), SuSE Linux (Open Source), and FreeBSD. Easy RAID Management The controller firmware also contains McBIOS RAID manager can access via hot key at BIOS boot-up screen and browser-based McRAID manager that can access from local and remote through the Http Proxy server in Windows, Linux, FreeBSD environment. Highlights Proven Areca RAID 6 engine with RAID level 0,1 (0+1), 3, 5, 6, and JBOD Flexible RAID Online capacity expansion and RAID level migration simultaneously Online Dynamic Volume expansion - volume set, capacity, RAID level, stripe size migration Online hot swap: Automatic drive insertion/removal detection and rebuilding Automatically and transparently rebuilds hot spare drives Redundant Flash Image(firmware), transaction log, and S.M.A.R.T. function for drives to improve the RAID system integrity, reliability, and availability Greater than 2TB per volume set to support 64-bit LBA OS Advanced management and configuration utilities Web browser-based RAID manager via HTTP PROXY for windows, Linux & FreeBSD environment I2C Enclosure management ready
