3ware RAID Controller
features and benefits
StorSwitch
™
Non-blocking switch fabric architecture
Maximizes controller throughput by allowing concurrent communications with all attached
SATA drives through a pool of 32 direct memory access (DMA) channels.
Performance
StorSave
Powerful reliability enhancements
Achieves unmatched data protection while maximizing performance in critical RAID modes
when data availability, accessibility, and data protection are most needed.
Data Protection
StreamFusion
Intelligent cache algorithm
Maximizes application performance under heavy loads by dynamically allocating controller
cache for maximum bandwidth
Performance
Multi-lane
™
Award-winning connector system
Dramatically increases subsystem reliability by radically reducing cable count and improves airflow
Reliability & Convenience
RAID 6
(On select 3ware 9690SA and 9650SE
controllers)
Two sets of parity are simultaneously calculated, written, and rotated across all the drives.
This allows the array to survive up to two drive failures without losing data, for significantly
improved fault tolerance.
Data Protection
Advanced Content Streaming
(9690SA and 9650SE Controllers)
Aggressively Caches write and read data and improves write and read content streaming.
Provides intelligent caching algorithms to improve application performance in real world cases.
Application Performance
Hybrid Initialization
(9690SA and 9650SE Controllers)
Faster foreground initialization for RAID 5 and RAID 6 arrays with 16 or more drives.
Fastest background initialization for newly created arrays.
Array Availability
and Performance
Accelerated RAID Recovery
(9690SA and 9650SE Controllers)
Faster rebuild completion. Shorter verify/initialization.
