9500S-8MI 8 Port SATA RAID Controller / 64-bit/66MHz Only one RAID controller family can deliver fault tolerant, low cost storage, multi-terabyte capacity and unparalleled performance and reliability levels — the 3ware 9000 Series Serial ATA hardware RAID controllers. Combined with the AMCCStorSave Platform and an advanced RAID management feature set, the 9000 Series RAID controllers, available in 12, 8 and 4-port configurations, are the most compelling solution for high performance and highest reliability computing.

3ware9000 Series — The Highest Performing Hardware RAID
3ware’s advanced switched RAID architecture — StorSwitch unleashes the power of Serial ATA(SATA), delivering the highest hardware RAID
performance in its class. The 3ware 9500S hardware RAID controllers deliver in excess of 400 MB per second (MB/sec) sustained RAID 5
reads and over 100 MB/sec RAID5 sequential writes with less than 3% CPU utilization. The StorSwitch architecture can simultaneously handle commands to and from multiple drives. No single drive is penalized by another while executing read or write commands. The on-board
processor ensures the host CPU is managing your applications—not the RAID controller functions. The result is superior overall performance
compared to other Serial ATA controllers.
