Promise Technology - FASTTRAK TX2000-5PK

Special Features are:

• Supports specification of Ultra ATA/133 which includes the ability to transfer data at up to 133MB/sec, and advanced CRC error-checking at higher drive speeds
• Supports 66MHz PCI bus motherboards capable of transferring data up to 266MB per second (backward compatible with 33MHz PCI bus transfers of 133MB/sec)
• Under RAID 0, FastTrak TX2000 boosts data transfer performance when striping multiple Ultra ATA/133 drives
• Provides real-time, mirrored RAID (Level 1 and 0+1) to protect data on attached hard drives
• Supports use of hot spare drive for immediate drive rebuilding in event of drive failure
• Onboard BIOS recognizes and configures attached drives for optimum speed and full capacity
• BIOS supports 48-bit large LBA mode to allow use of drives exceeding 137GB each
• Easy installation and RAID setup lets all users quickly create the type of RAID their environment requires

CRC Data Protection:

• Support For Ultra ATA drives, FastTrak TX2000 supports enhanced data protection called Cyclical Redundancy Checking to check data integrity at high speeds

Bus Mastering:

• TX2000 offloads I/O management to optimize CPU processing for data handling which improves overall performance

Co-exists with Other Controllers:

• Like other Promise ATA RAID products, TX2000 co-exists with onboard IDE motherboard ports. This allows the user to use their Ultra ATA RAID storage subsystem separately from the boot drive (used particularly in audio/video applications) or simply add more IDE devices to the motherboard

Advanced Monitoring:

• Monitors S.M.A.R.T. status of attached hard drives
• Logs array errors and events to Windows NT/2000/XP Event Log
• Permits e-mail notification of errors and array events
• Linux Syslog compatible

FastTrak TX2000 raises consumer-based ATA RAID to professional levels. The FastTrak TX2000 ATA RAID card supports Ultra ATA/133 drives to rock workstations and boost small (or large) office servers like never before.

FastTrak TX2000 breaks the video/sound barrier with RAID 0 striping data speeds that easily exceed that of a single Ultra ATA/133 drive. Or use RAID 1 mirroring or 0+1 to protect valuable office data...and take advantage of fast Ultra ATA/133 transfers.
