AAA-131CA
The AAA-131CA array adapter caches, reads, and writes, while intelligently striping data on two or more drives for maximum I/O subsystem performance. For applications that require fault tolerance, RAID 1 (mirroring) support is included. An easy-to-use GUI-based interface saves time and ensures proper installation.
