Addonics Announces 4 Port eSATA RAID5/JBOD PCI-E 8x Controller.Maximum Data Throughput, Advanced SATA II Feature Set for Powers Users, and Hi-Def Video Production SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Addonics Technologies, www.addonics.com today announced a performance boosting 4 Port eSATA RAID5/JBOD PCI-E See PCI Express. 8x Controller, which provides the horsepower to process high-def video and other applications that require maximum throughput using external storage devices. When installed into the fast PCI-Express BUS of any desktop system, the new Addonics controller (Model number - ADSA ADSA Aging and Disability Services Administration ADSA American Dairy Science Association ADSA American Dental Society of Anesthesiology ADSA Axisymmetric Drop-Shape Analysis ADSA Association for Dietetics in South Africa 3GPX GPX - Early system on UNIVAC II. Listed in CACM 2(5):16 (May 1959). 8-4E) ensures maximum data throughput of 3 Gbits/sec per port. In addition, the latest External SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. (eSATA) connector also provides more secured cable connection, improved durability, increased EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) An electrical disturbance in a system due to natural phenomena, low-frequency waves from electromechanical devices or high-frequency waves (RFI) from chips and other electronic devices. Allowable limits are governed by the FCC. protection, and supports advanced SATA II features such as native command queuing, port multipliers with FIS-based switching, and up to 2 meters cable length. With the onboard RAID firmware, the 4 eSATA ports can be easily configured as 4 individual ports with no RAID or with RAID 5, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 1+S, or JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) A group of hard disks in a computer that are not set up as any type of RAID configuration. They are just a bunch of disks. JBOD - Just a Bunch Of Disks ("just a bunch of disks See JBOD. (jargon, storage) Just a Bunch Of Disks - (JBOD, or "Just a Bunch of Drives") A storage subsystems using multiple independent disk drives, as opposed to one form of RAID or another. ," a feature of combining all 4 drives into one large capacity hard drive) The new Addonics controller can achieve throughput that exceeds 240 Mbytes/sec sustained data transfer with standard 7,200 RPM SATAII hard drives by setting up 4 drives in a RAID 0 configuration. The fast throughput and high bandwidth are the needed elements to allow users to process raw and high-definition video. When used with various Addonics drive enclosures and Storage Tower products, users can build an external high performance storage system that rivals the traditional SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. storage at less than half of the cost. Key features of the Addonics controller include: SATA I and SATA II compliant; PCI-Express 8 lane compatible (also fits into PCI-Express 16 Lane or the graphic card slot); works with any Serial ATA drive; fits standard height desktop case and hot swap support, which allows hard drives to be removed and added without system shut down or restart. The controller is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, and Vista. Addonics also offers Mac Pro version of this controller. Since the eSATA connector on this adapter is relatively new to the market, Addonics also offers a complete cabling solution for External SATA applications. The Addonics 4 Port eSATA RAID5/JBOD PCI-E 8x Controller has a MSRP MSRP Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price MSRP Message Session Relay Protocol MSRP Multi-Species Recovery Plan (US Fish & Wildlife Service) MSRP Member of the Society for Radiological Protection (UK) of $199 and is available through the Addonics online store www.shopaddonics.com, major catalog companies, resellers, VARs and distributors, including Amazon.com, PC Connection, CDW, Buy.com, Provantage.com, Insight, and Ingram Micro.
