The
TowerRAID TR4M6G
is the world first 6G port multiplier storage, bundled with 6G
PCIe 2.0 x4 RAID 5 controller. It is a compact RAID tower utilizing the latest SATA III port
multiplier technology, where one single eSATA cable connects to four 6Gb/s SATA hard
drives. Bundled with a high performance RAID controller card RR642, its RAID 5
performance is capable of reaching over 300MB/s. Online expansion is a feature included in
the controller card so that RAID could be expanded without the need to recreate the storage
space or erase the existing data. Advanced monitoring functions include real time hard drives
health status, remote RAID management and e-mail notification for critical events. Designed
with easy installation in mind, the trayless TR4M6G allows instant setup by simply inserting
the hard drives after opening the protective ventilating cover. The included dual-port eSATA
6Gb/s PCIe 2.0 x4 RAID controller card allows the connection of up to two TR4M6G units (up
to 8 hard drives) using only two cables, while all drives could be configured into a single or
multiple RAID arrays, providing over 700MB/s in performance with 8 drives.
