Chapter 1 EvoStor-400CA Overview

1.1 Introduction

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a group of disk drives combined

with two or more hard disks, accompanied with software and controller to provide

a high performance of data transfer at relatively low cost. More and more users

are employing RAID for disk configuration to obtain a high transfer rate of data as

well as secure data protection. As two or more disks are used in RAID

configuration, disk data can be stored and backed up more conveniently.

1.2 Product Overview

EvoStor-400CA (hereafter referred as EvoStor) external RAID system is designed

to offer high performance, high reliability and low cost alternatives to SCSI to IDE
