6500 Disk Array
Functions and
Application When high-bandwidth software applications require disk performance rates
faster than those provided by single-disk storage systems, Ciprico’s 6500 Disk
Array can provide economical yet powerful performance, redundancy, and
capacity. The 6500 Disk Array provides transfer rates up to 40MB/second.
Each Ciprico 6500 disk array includes an intelligent SCSI/ATA controller, a
full-function display/operation panel, a lockable enclosure with power supply
and cooling fans, and nine ATA drives—eight for data and one for parity.
Available for operation with either single-ended or differential SCSI signal
types, Ciprico 6500 arrays can be easily striped or daisy-chained together to
provide higher capacities.
