Unylogix Black RAID Array - World's most advanced SCSI RAID system

Finally, the cost effective, easy to use high performance RAID solution is here.

Unylogix has put together one of the most sophisticated SCSI RAID Arrays available. It comes in All-In-One enclosure that has built in RAID level 0, 1, 3, and 5 with SCSI III interface, and 6 hard drive hot swappable trays. Combined with high capacity IDE hard drives mounted into the removable trays and you have a low-cost RAID unit with features of more expensive & sophisticated SCSI based units. In addition, you get the flexibility of choosing the size of the hard drive that matches your requirements.

Absolutely the highest capacity and most affordable SCSI hard drive you'll ever find.

Why? Because you can install six of the highest capacity IDE hard drives available on the market. Unylogix's Black RAID Array will combine them to use as one single hard drive. Six 27 GB drives will appear to the system as single 162 GB drive. In addition, the on-board microprocessor and the embedded firmware gives your data the security and performance of hardware SCSI RAID with the cost effectiveness of IDE drives.

Solid Reliability is Our Number One Priority

We adhere one of the most advanced quality control procedures on every Unylogix Black RAID Array, not only to make sure that we can provide you a superior product right out the box, but also to ensure it will keep delivering solid and highly reliable performance for many years.

Extremely User Friendly is Your Advantage

As everyone knows, conventional Disk Arrays are designed to be managed by experienced computer specialists. To solve complicated and time consuming operating procedures, we came up with an innovative idea: Plug and Play RAID. Compared to conventional Disk Array's complex and lengthy setup procedures, Unylogix's Black RAID Array can be ready to use after following short and simple built-in setup program. Hooking up the Unylogix Black RAID array to your server is painless.

Powerful Performance without Compromise

Unylogix Black RAID array combines high-speed microprocessor with the latest chip set, Ultra Fast SCSI, interface optimized firmware and an appealing design. The result is one of the fastest, most reliable Disk Array subsystems on the market.

Features:

Independent Fault Isolation:

Each hard drive is on a separate data channel – any drive failure will not affect or corrupt data on any another drive.

Fault Tolerance:

Allows the Disk Array to continue to function, even when one of the hard disks has failed.

Auto Rebuild:

When a replacement to a failed disk is installed, Unylogix's Black RAID Array will provide automatic data rebuild without the need for any commands or functions to be keyed in. The rebuilt function is transparent to the host.

Operating Status:

An LCD status panel displays a comprehensive readout of the operating status and the HDD LED indicators on each HDD tray display the individual HDD status.

Spare:

One of the six hard disk can be used as a hot standby disk. When a hard disk error occurs on one of the RAID drives, this on-line hot spare disk will automatically replace the failed disk drive.

Hot Swap:

You can remove and install the "Hot-Swappable" parts without interrupting data access while the Unylogix Black RAID array is on. These "Hot Swappable" parts include the Hard Disk Drives, Redundant Power Supply Units and Cooling Fans.

Ultra High Speed:

Interface support for Fast / Wide / Ultra-Wide SCSI host channel (Asynchronous / synchronous), up to 40MB data transfer rate.
