The
TowerRAID TR8X+HG
is an 8-bay RAID 5/6/50 tower with mini-SAS connection for high
transfer rates of over 1000MB/s. The TR8X+HG is bundled with a high-performance RAID
controller card (RR4522, PCIe 2.0 x8 6G RAID-on-Chip RAID controller) that offloads complicated
RAID calculations from the computer to lower CPU utilization. High performance could be
achieved with a lower cost of ownership compared to RAID embedded subsystems. RAID setup
and maintenance could be controlled via built-in web browser interfaces, and the unit is
supportive of e-mail notification and real-time event log. Utilizing high bandwidth mini-SAS
(SFF-8088) cabling, the TR8X+HG supports 6Gb/s SAS or SATA hard drives to deliver superior
read / write speeds that are crucial in performance-driven environments such as video editing
industry and high performance computer. The mini-SAS connection connects eight hard drives
connections into two ports, reducing possible points of failures, while preserving uninterrupted
data transfer.
