The Escalade 7506 series delivers advanced storage technology and industry leading performance in cost-effective ATA solutions.
The 4, 8 and 12 port Escalade 7506 controllers boast a PCI 66MHz custom ASIC that combines an integrated RISC processor, PCI bridge (64-bit, 66MHz) and XOR RAID engine.
Performance is further enhanced with StorSwitch, 3wares advanced switched RAID architecture. Supporting up to 3TB of storage per controller (dependent on drive capacity, 2TB per array maximum), 3ware offers the only 12 and 8 port ATA RAID controllers available on the market today.
These controllers fit the bill with applications where high levels of sustained read and writes are required, such as enterprise storage, NAS/SAN, web servers, near-line backup and archival, and streaming video.
Escalade® 7506 Series- Supports up to 12 drives with a single PCI card enabling up to 3. 6 terabytes of storage (dependent on drive capacity, 2TB per array maximum)
- Ultra ATA / 133 interface
- StorSwitch point-to-point non-blocking architecture
- PCI 2.2 compliant 64-bit / 66MHz bus master (2-port controllers are
32-bit / 66MHz PCI compliant) - RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and JBOD support (2-port controllers support RAID 0,1 and JBOD)
- Highest performance ATA RAID Controller
