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.
