Most importantly, whether our customers require SAS, SATA or combined SAS/SATA connectivity, 3ware will provide the right tool for the job. SATA SAS The cost- and performance-optimized interface for the majority of value-end storage appliances that employ a fixed number of drives to serve vertical applications, like video surveillance. The interface for the direct-attach server space, SCSI’s former mainstay. SAS is for mission critical applications that require higher levels of availability and native expansion. • • • • • • • • • Vertical Applications Cost Optimized Optimized for Sequential Performance Mature Infrastructure Mission Critical Applications High Availability Native Expansion Optimized for Random Performance Emerging Infrastructure Advanced RAID features, SAS and SATA II connectivity, and powerful 3ware performance architecture make 3ware controllers ideal for vertical applications that require the highest levels of sustained write and read performance.

The Multi-lane SATA cable/connection system is fast, secure, simple, and clutter free. It combines the RAID controller’s multiple SAS/SATA ports into single locked connections. Multiple 3Gb/s lanes of SAS/SATA traffic travel through just one cable from the RAID controller to the system backplane or to multiple hard drives with a breakout cable. • Multiple lanes of high speed SAS and/or SATA traffic through a single cable • Increased system reliability • Reduced cable count • Streamlined storage • Locked connections • Improved airflow Multi-lane SAS and SATA Cable and

In a 3ware RAID 6 system, two sets of parity are calculated, written, and rotated across all the drives. This second simultaneous P + Q parity calculation allows the array to survive up to two drive failures without losing data, for significantly improved fault tolerance. RAID 6-enabled 9690SA and 9650SE controllers deliver unequaled RAID 6 performance. RAID 6 represents a sea change in the RAID landscape. It provides the industry with higher levels of data protection, data availability and fault tolerance than RAID 5. By assuring data availability following a second drive failure, users can rest assured that they are enjoying maximum data protection, both in normal and degraded modes. And, with RAID 6-enabled 3ware controllers, RAID 6 will not cripple performance.
