Product description

MODEL- RR1820A VENDOR- HPT USA/HIGHPOINT TECH

FEATURES- RocketRAID 1820A 8-Channel Serial ATA RAID PCI-X Adapter
With 8 Serial ATA channels, the RocketRAID 1820A provides multi-
level RAID support including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD. With an
optimized XOR technique and advanced Intelligent Cache Algorithm
powered by the HPT 601, the RocketRAID 1820A provides a significant
performance enhancement for RAID implementations. The RocketRAID
1820A solution is aimed at enterprise storage, NAS storage, web
servers, video streaming, back up and security systems.
The 64-bit PCI-X architecture supports transfer rates above 1
gigabyte per second, and operates up to 133MHz. In addition, it is
backwards compatible with the existing standard PCI bus. The
bandwidth provided by PCI-X makes the RocketRAID 1820A an ideal
solution for industry standard servers running enterprise
applications.
The RocketRAID 1820A supports Command Queuing (CQ), which can
significantly enhance randomized read and write performance of hard
disks. CQ is designed to increase performance and endurance of hard
disks by internally optimizing the execution order of workloads.
With the support of CQ, your system will gain improved performance
of queued workloads and hard disks will have less mechanical wear
due to less mechanical latency.
As a high-performance, affordable RAID solution, the RocketRAID
1820A makes perfect sense for servers, critical business
applications, gaming, security systems, and high-end personal
storage.
Includes RocketRAID 1820A card, 8 Serial ATA cables, Low-profile
bracket, Standard bracket, Driver software, RAID Management software,
User's manual.
