RAID Lite (TM)
RAID Lite, the first of a new generation of RAID arrays powerful enough to service the I/O demands of large network servers, yet affordable to small UNIX network and power desktop users. Incorporating a powerful RISC CPU and up to 32MB of read/write cache memory, RAID Lite provides lightning quick response time for transaction intensive database applications.
For applications that require high data transfer rates and massive capacities, RAID Lite features up to five 20MB/sec. Fast Wide SCSI processors supporting up to 35 drives for a total capacity of 150.5GB. RAID Lite is also designed for flexibility with support for desktop, deskside and rackmount enclosures, as well as support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 6.
