Product description

MODEL- 9650SE-12ML-KIT VENDOR- 3WARE/AMCC STORAGE

FEATURES- PCI Express to Serial ATA II Hardware RAID Controller
AMCC's 3ware 9650SE SATA II hardware RAID controllers deliver
industry-leading RAID 6 and RAID 5 performance, robust fault
tolerance, and multi-terabyte capacities. A PCI Express host
interface, Multi-lane connectivity, StorSwitch architecture and
sophisticated SATA II features drive this unrivaled performance.
The 3ware 9650SE PCI Express to SATA II RAID controller pushes
AMCC's established leadership in RAID controller performance to new
heights. While 3ware controllers continue to lead the market in
RAID 5 performance, the 3ware 9650SE outshines the competition as
the new standard bearer for RAID 6 performance, delivering over
800MB/s RAID 6 reads and 600MB/s RAID 6 writes.
3ware's parallel XOR RAID 6 parity generation algorithm maximizes
RAID 6 throughput, so that RAID 6 enabled 9650SE controllers
deliver unequaled RAID 6 performance.
