Promise FastTrak S150 TX2plus PCI Serial ATA/Ultra ATA RAID Controller
Promise FastTrak S150 TX2plus PCI Serial ATA/Ultra ATA RAID Controller Features
Maximize ATA RAID Performance with Serial ATA Drives
Serial ATA hard drives take advantage of the latest interface standard, delivering blistering transfer speeds of up to 150MB/sec. Now, Promise Technology, the leader in ATA and ATA RAID controllers, brings you the FastTrak S150 TX Series of Serial ATA RAID cards—a family of controller cards that provides high-performance, lowcost ATA RAID technology using new Serial ATA hard drives.
With the FastTrak S150 TX4, you can attach up to four Serial ATA drives to create ultra-fast RAID arrays. For an easy upgrade path, the FastTrak S150 TX2plus allows you to integrate new or existing Ultra ATA drives with the latest Serial ATA drives as part of your new RAID storage subsystem. By choosing Serial ATA for your RAID system, you get more than an advanced ATA drive.The Serial ATA standard incorporates highly anticipated features that are ideally suited for ATA RAID use such as longer, thinner cables, eliminating cable-routing problems and increasing air circulation. Serial ATA also simplifies drive configuration, eliminating installation hassles and improving multi-drive performance.
Gain the Promise RAID Advantage
By combining a Promise controller card with your ATA hard drives, you can gain the incredible performance and extraordinary benefits of a high-end RAID system at a fraction of the cost. By leveraging a data-striping configuration (RAID 0), your data is spread across multiple drives for faster storage performance, dramatically increasing data throughput—up to 266MB/sec—and combining the storage capacity of the disks.With a data-mirroring configuration (RAID 1), your data is duplicated on multiple drives, delivering exceptional reliability and data protection if a drive fails. Using four drives, you can also set up a combination configuration (RAID 0+1) that offers the benefits of both schemes. Regardless of which configuration you choose, Promise ATA RAID cards are engineered to deliver premier performance.
With Promise Technology’s user-friendly software, RAID setup and management couldn’t be easier. Built-in, menu-driven FastBuild software guides users to create arrays. Promise Array Management software offers visual administration tools to monitor and maintain your advanced storage subsystem (controller, drives, arrays) locally or across a network.
Serial ATA: Optimal for RAID
Serial ATA with the FastTrak S150 Series controller provides the optimal solution for ATA RAID. Serial ATA supports cables that are up to one meter long and substantially thinner, eliminating cable-routing problems and increasing air circulation. Serial ATA implements technology that improves data transmission, and Serial ATA drives deliver the highest throughput of any ATA drive currently available.Also, Serial ATA uses a point-to-point configuration topology, eliminating master/slave bus sharing, simplifying drive configuration, and improving multi-drive system throughput.
Widespread Drive Compatibility
Promise RAID solutions provide you with ultimate flexibility in selecting your hard drives and configuring your RAID system. Promise works with major drive manufacturers worldwide to continually test their latest drives to ensure compatibility. The Promise BIOS recognizes and sets each drive type and device for optimal performance. Promise cards also employ sophisticated data handling techniques to make data transfers more efficient without overloading the host system CPU.
