Areca SATA RAID Controller ARC-1221x SATA 3gbit 8-Port; Two x4 External SFF8088; PCI-Express-x8 LP; RAID-0/1/5/6
ARC-1210ML/1220ML/1211x/1221x
(4/8-port PCIe to SATA ll RAID Adapters)
The ARC-12XXML/12x1x Serial ATA ll RAIDHost adapters are high-performance PCI-Express Bus to SATA ll Disk arrayHost adapter. The controller can provide up to 4 and 8 SATA ll peripheral devices on a single Host adapter. When properly configured, the SATAHostAdapter can provide non-stop service with a high degree of Fault Tolerance through the use of RAID technology and advanced array management features. Intel IOP332 and IOP 333 Processor have integrated the RAID 6 engine inside. It offers Areca the advantage of reduced engineering and development costs, by having the New RAID6 function build-in and integrated part saves on component costs and internal PCI bandwidth.Intel emphasis on architectural commonality in IOPs allows Areca developers to capitalize on their existing code base. The 4/8 Port Serial ATARAIDHostAdapter is low-profile PCI cards-ideal for 1U or 2U rack-mount system. It is used the same RAID kernel of its field-proven external RAID controller
