Promise FastTrak100 TX2 ATA/100 PCI Series RAID Controller

FastTrak100 TX2 Series RAID Card PCI, Ultra ATA/100 RAID 0,1 Card. With TX2 products, there's still plenty of ATA RAID 0,1 muscle for more modest computing needs - whether it's performance or fault tolerant data protection. These products are best for small home office networks or stand-alone desktops. FastTrak TX2 supports up to 4 Ultra ATA/100 drives on two independent data channels. Get RAID 0 striping speeds up to 200MB/second sustained. TX2's RAID 1 mirroring speeds will also blow away comparable RAID cards. House the drives inside the Promise Super- Swap "hot swap" chassises and get continuous PC operation even if a drive fails under RAID 1 mirroring. * For workstations, stripe up to four drives to multiply sustained data transfer speed, particularly for large files. RAID 1 mirroring protects user data against drive failure, sending identical data to a second drive or pair of drives every time you save. * The proven Ultra ATA/100 Promise chipset offers high-speed CRC error- checking that's been tested by virtually every major drive manufacturer worldwide. * The on-board Promise LBA BIOS auto-identifies and optimizes the speed of attached drives for maximum throughput. Built-in support for 66MHz PCI bus motherboards allows double the bandwidth for faster data transfers. And, FastTrak100TX2 software drivers can automatically increase Windows performance of system drives (SCSI and ATA) by up to 40%. * BIOS-level FastBuild offers both automatic and manual array setup menus. Automatically build and array for performance (RAID 0), or data protection (RAID 1). Change RAID levels, delete, or rebuild arrays simple and easily. * Users can pre-program FastCheck to correct specific array errors auto- matically on-the-fly without user intervention. Information windows automatically appear during "critical" events. Users can schedule array maintenance. FastCheck even supports management of removable drive enclosures to indicate power, temperature and fan status. DMI is also supported for remote monitoring across a network.
