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 Best Keeps Getting Better
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.
Red Hot RAID 6
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
