The Promise FastTrak TX2300 2-port SATA RAID PCI adapter offers a low-cost

solution for implementing a RAID 0 or RAID 1 storage system with up to two high-

performance Serial ATA disk drives. Promise Technology is the leading provider of

Serial ATA interface solutions, and with the FastTrak TX2300, users can benefit from

Promise’s experience in maximizing Serial ATA storage system performance.

The FastTrak TX2300 leverages Promise’s proven RAID 0/1 software engine for fast,

efficient, and reliable RAID. Use RAID 0 for massive capacity and maximum

performance or RAID 1 for data protection. Promise’s RAID engine also offers

performance enhancing technology like elevator seek and load balancing for efficient

performance.And for maximum uptime, the FastTrak supports features like

transparent data recovery and drive rebuilds performed in the background.

The controller supports SATA 3Gb/s drives and conforms to Serial ATA II, Extensions to

SATA 1.0a specification with Native Command Queuing and Disk Activity LED headers

support. In addition to Native Command Queuing, the controller also supports Tagged

Command Queuing with drives that can take advantage of this capability. Command

Queuing increases I/O performance by intelligently reordering data requests so that

the data can be more quickly accessed than if the commands weren’t ordered.
