Introduction
High
Performance SATA 3Gb/s RAID Controller for Servers and
Storage Systems
The SuperTrak EX16300 RAID controller is a cost-effective
high-port count, high-performance and high-capacity solution
for internal storage systems. With support for SATA 3Gb/s
drives and Promise's proven RAID engine, the SuperTrak
EX16300 RAID controller is designed to meet the needs
of disk-to-disk backup, NAS storage, security and surveillance,
video editing, and near-line storage.
Enterprise-class
RAID Features and Management
The SuperTrak EX16300 RAID controllers include advanced
RAID features for greater data protection and management.
Greater than 2 TB support allows for very large arrays
in 64-bit platforms. An enhanced RAID platform with advanced
features such as multiple logical drive support, media
patrol, read check table and bad sector remapping protects
your storage investment. Equipped with the new web-based
Promise Array Manager (WebPAM) software, SuperTrak EX16300
is extremely easy to manage for both Windows and Linux
environments through a browser-based graphical user interface.
SATA
3Gb/s Support
The SuperTrak EX16300 controller supports SATA 3Gb/s drives
and conforms to Serial ATA II, Extensions to SATA 1.0
specification with Native Command Queuing and Disk Activity
LED headers support. Command Queuing increases I/O performance
by intelligently reordering data requests so that data
can be accessed more quickly.
Intelligent
RAID Architecture
The SuperTrak EX16300 delivers exceptional multi-drive
performance by taking advantage of Intel's XScale IOP331
I/O processor technology. It offers advanced RAID 6 technology
for high level fault tolerance, allowing multiple simultaneous
drive failures without downtime or data loss.
