Apple XSERVE G5 RAID PCI CARDKIT ( M9699G/A )
Manufacturer: Apple Computer ProductGroup: CE Binding: Electronics ASIN: B0002X9952 |
Product Description
This 64-bit/66 MHz PCI card provides enhanced reliability and performance to Xserve G5's internal Serial ATA (SATA) drives using a hardware RAID controller. Bypassing the on-board hard drive controllers, this card provides three independent 150MBps Serial ATA controllers backed by a high-performance RAID processor and 64MB of RAID controller cache with an on-card backup battery. The PCI Hardware RAID controller provides RAID level 0, 1 and 5 capabilities to the Apple Drive Module bays and is managed by a provided command-line management tool. 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 drive failure in a protected RAID 1 or 5 configuration, drives can be hot-swapped and the RAID set can be rebuilt on to a new drive online while the server continues to serve data.Electronics:
