Edge10 DAS401 storage server

DAS401, SATA, 8.89 cm (3.5 ") , 2x eSATA DAS401 enhances your data storage by combining advanced RAID1 features typically seen on high-end data systems with low cost/high capacity Serial ATA drives. By using industry standard SATA drives and Silicon Image Host Bus Adapters, you can achieve extraordinarily low costs while remaining assured that your data is protected against hardware failure.

The DAS401 software driver includes support for monitoring to predict suspect drives.
DAS401 provides our highest commitment to data security through the use of RAID architecture to back up and protect data. RAID levels 1, 10, and 5 provide data security. DAS401 supports sophisticated sparing support so that hardware failure risk can be minimized by automatically egenerating the failed disk’s data on a backup disk. The DAS401 software driver includes support for Self- Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) to predict disk failures. Drives can be moved between controllers without losing data.
The DAS401 can also increase storage throughput by combining the throughput of multiple drives into a single volume. RAID levels 1, 10, and 5 support this ability. Furthermore, each volume can be tailored to provide the best performance for the data contained on that disk.
The DAS401 utility offers an easy to use utility for creating and managing your storage. It also supports the latest SATA enhancements including SATA-II Port Multiplier support, and up to 3Gbit/sec transfer rates on controllers that support that speed. Creating and deleting volumes is also possible without requiring a restart of the operating
system and rebuilds never require the data to be taken off-line.
Drives can also be moved between controllers without losing the data.
