3ware Escalade 6800

The Escalade 6000 series of RAID storage controllers deliver the performance and reliability of traditional SCSI RAID controllers at a fraction of the cost. Escalade controllers leverage the fastest Ultra ATA/66 disk drives and, through innovative packet switching design principles, deliver unparalleled performance for data intensive applications. The Escalade 6800 (8-port) maximizes capacity for large servers. 3ware's DiskSwitch architecture accesses multiple drives simultaneously, yielding data transfer rates of greater than 101MB/sec. Escalade's RAID 0 performance exceeds the requirements for applications like digital video editing and 3D modeling. 3ware's advanced TwinStor boosts RAID 1 and RAID 10 read performance and provides redundancy - perfect for Web, file, and database servers. With Escalade controllers, it is not necessary to trade performance for data protection.
