Introduction
AMCC's
3ware 9650SE SATA II hardware RAID controllers deliver
industry-leading RAID 6 and RAID 5 performance,
robust fault tolerance, and multi-terabyte capacities.
A PCI Express host interface, Multi-lane™ connectivity,
StorSwitch™ architecture and sophisticated
SATA II features drive this unrivaled performance.
The
Best Keeps Getting Better
The 3ware 9650SE PCI Express to SATA II RAID controller
pushes AMCC's established leadership in RAID controller
performance to new heights. While 3ware controllers
continue to lead the market in RAID 5 performance,
the 3ware 9650SE outshines the competition as the
new standard bearer for RAID 6 performance, delivering
over 800MB/s RAID 6 reads and 600MB/s RAID 6 writes.
Red Hot RAID 6
3ware's parallel XOR RAID 6 parity generation algorithm
maximizes RAID 6 throughput, so that RAID 6 enabled
9650SE controllers deliver unequaled RAID 6 performance
