Areca RAID Controllers Compatible with Ci Design SATA ll Backplane I2C Interface
Taipei, Taiwan, September 16, 2005 -- Areca Technology Corporation, a leading provider of PCI-X, PCI-Express SATA ll RAID controllers with Intel RAID 6 inside, today announced that its PCI-X/PCIe SATA ll RAID controller has compatible with Ci-design SATA backplane I2C interface. User can simply connect the controller to the backplaneI2C interface. This can reduce the number of activity LED and fault LED. The I2C interface can also cascade to another backplane for the additional backplane status display.
Ci Design, a leading manufacturer of enclosures for mass storage, RAID and server applications, has announced the compatibility with Areca SATA ARC controller.
Backplane merges the signals of all drives to connect one port to the bus cable rather than all individual drives. The enhanced enclosure management functions facilitate timely notification of system faults.
Areca ARC SATA controller provides the flexibility of allowing different methods of enabling the activity and fail LED's depending on the manufacturer of the hard drive and user preference. |
