Product description

MODEL- SRCU42X VENDOR- INTEL CORP.

FEATURES- Intel RAID Controller
The Intel RAID Controller SRCU42X is a PCI-X, dual-channel, Ultra320
SCSI RAID controller based on Intel XScale technology.
High-availability, high-capacity applications require a delicate
blend of power and flexibility. Embedded systems, complex
networking solutions, and other I/O-intensive applications demand a
storage solution delivering generous throughput rates and data
protection for high-availability server environments.
That solution is the Intel RAID Controller SRCU42X, which offers
dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI technology along with the advanced I/O
processing technology of the Intel IOP321 I/O processor. This makes
the RAID Controller SRCU42X one of the few RAID controllers in the
industry to offer integrators the remarkably high throughput
supported by a PCI-X interface as well as the performance, power
efficiency, and flexibility of the Intel XScale technology.
With its 133MHz PCI-X interface, the RAID Controller SRCU42X
achieves up to 1 GB per second maximum throughput. Its 400MHz Intel
IOP321 processor offers a maximum throughput up to 1.6 GB per
second and also supports up to 1 GB of PC1600 ECC DDR SDRAM. In
addition, a new software suite based on PCI-X simplifies
configuration, diagnostics, and firmware updates and enables
integrators to offer a full set of RAID options at entry-level
price points.
