3ware Escalde 8500 Serial ATA RAID controllers deliver full-featured hardware RAID for PC servers and workstations. With 3ware’s point-to-point packet switching architecture, each disk drive has its own dedicated port, increasing throughput and enhancing reliability. 3ware delivers unmatched capacity, scalability and performance using inexpensive Serial ATA disk drives. The Escalade 8500 Serial ATA controllers set the standard for Serial ATA RAID.
The Escalade 8500 series includes a complete suite of software and firmware for creating, deleting, verifying and rebuilding arrays, making installation and set-up easy. 3DM, 3ware’s web browser array management utility allows local and remote management and monitoring of arrays and their disks from any standard web browser. 3ware’s advanced firmware delivers many of the features one expects with more expensive SCSI drives and controllers, but not typically available in ATA controllers or drives. These include command re-ordering, elevator seeks, dynamic sector repair, asynchronous error messaging and more.
The 8500 Series controllers are PCI short form-factor half-length cards—ideal for rackmounted system designs.The rear-exit cable connectors make cabling assembly and routing easy and straightforward.
