High Performance
Cost-effective RAID Solution
Exceptional Quality and Reliability

 

The Stardom R9 boasts a high performance, yet cost effective RAID solutions with exceptional reliability and dependability.  Based on Power PC 603e CPU and Infortrend's proprietary ASIC, this product fully support RAID Level 0,1,3,5,0+1 ensuring maximum data reliability. The 64-bit bus bandwidth at 66MHz yields high data throughput to small-to-medium sized servers or workstations. Whilst the use of standard IDE Hard Disks bring the cost effectiveness.  Stardom R9 features IDE full hot-swap capability and automatic background data rebuild, yielding uninterrupted data availability.  So powerful and reliable, yet so simple to use.
