Areca ARC-1221x

4/8-port PCIe External SAS/SATA ll RAID Adapters The ARC-1212x and 1222x external RAID adapters are high-performance PCI-Express bus to SATA ll Disk Array adapter. The adapter can provide up to 4/8 SATA ll or SAS/SATA ll peripheral devices on a single host adapter. When properly configured, the external RAID adapter can provide non-stop service with a high degree of fault tolerance through the use of RAID technology and advanced array management features. Intel IOP 348 processor has integrated the RAID 6 engine inside. It offers Areca the advantage of reduced engineering and development costs, by having the new RAID 6 function build-in and integrated part saves on component costs and internal PCI bandwidth. Intel emphasis on architectural commonality in IOPs allows Areca developers to capitalize on their existing code base. The 4/8 port external RAID adapter is low-profile PCI cards-ideal for 1U or 2U rack-mount system. It is used the same RAID kernel of its field-proven external RAID controller.
