Produkttext:
This 64-bit/66 MHz PCI card provides enhanced reliability and performance to XserveG5's internal Serial ATA (SATA) drives using a hardware RAID controller. Bypassing the on-board hard drive controllers, this card provides three independent 150MB/s SerialATA controllers backed by a high-performance RAID processor and 64MB of RAIDcontroller cache with an on-card backup battery.
The PCI Hardware RAID controller provides RAID level 0, 1 and 5 capabilities to theApple Drive Module bays and is managed by a provided command-line managementtool. Multiple logical drives can be created, and each logical drive supports different RAID levels, different stripe sizes, and different cache policies. In the case of a drivefailure in a protected RAID 1 or 5 configuration, drives can be hot-swapped and theRAID set can be rebuilt on to a new drive online while the server continues to serve data.
Note: RAID levels 0 and 1 require a minimum of 2 Apple Drive modules; RAID level 5 requires 3 Apple Drive modules. Apple recommends drive modules of the same size foreach RAID set. The hardware RAID card does not support FireWire Target Disk mode.
