Performance Engineered
The ExpressSAS 6Gbps
SAS/SATA RAID adapter family allows users to
instantly protect their critical data while
enhancing performance. ATTO designs ExpressSAS
RAID adapters to maintain full performance in
degraded mode and to minimize downtime with 50%
faster rebuilds, limiting exposure to a second
drive failure. Exclusive latency management
features like Advanced Data Streaming (ADS)
Technology and DriveAssure minimize data
transfer interruptions to ensure the highest
level of consistent performance. These
differentiating capabilities make ATTO the
premier choice for high-performance host based
RAID connectivity.
Advanced Management
Tools
ATTO's
easy-to-use configuration tool features an
intuitive GUI that simplifies RAID group
configuration, management and monitoring. ATTO's
ExpressSAS RAID adapters offer the most advanced
performance tuning capabilities and
troubleshooting utilities, providing users with
sophisticated diagnostics and the flexibility to
control settings for specific applications.
The technologies that
help achieve the said transfer rates are
explained below in short.
Advanced Data Streaming
(ADS) Technology
It is a
latency-management technology that controls the
acceleration of data transfers to move large
amounts of data faster and more efficiently.
DriveAssure Technology
It is a drive assessment
and latency management technology that prevents
premature drive failures to ensure uninterrupted
access to data.
CacheAssure Technology
It has a NV cache data
protection module providing a maintenance-free
solution that safeguards against the loss of
cached data during a power or system failure.
Data Recovery Mode
It is a mechanism that
increases the probability of fully or partially
recovering data that is lost due to a disk
failure and offline RAID group.
