ARC-5040 RAID Subsystem
Overview
Maximum Host Interoperability
Unsurpassed Data Availability
Easy RAID Management
The ARC-5040 is the most complete 8-bay 3.0 Gbps SATA
drive subsystem with RAID control capabilities. The
ARC-5040 unleashes a truly innovative multiple hosts (with
3.0Gbps eSATA, USB3.0, FireWire 800, iSCSI/AoE and
USB2.0) solution for both PC and Mac. The eSATA port
delivers in excess of 220 MB per second (MB/sec) sustained
RAID 0 reads and over 210 MB/sec RAID 0 sequential writes.
High transfer rates make ARC-5040 well suited for
audio/video application especially the rapidly growing
demand from the Mac Video Editing markets. The Intelligent
cooling continuously adapts to environmental conditions by
automatically controlling the speed of the cooling fans. This
super silent design, optimizing balance between noise
reduction and necessary cooling, help the resellers to offer
the cost effective storage solution to the end customers.

The ARC-5040 supports multiple host interfaces; eSATA,
iSCSI/AoE, USB3.0, FireWire 800 or UBS2.0 that can work
currently at the same. The host interface on the system may
be located either on the system board, or on a plug-in host
bus adapter (HBA) card. With port multiplier SATA host,
eSATA (3.0Gbps) host channel can support multiple volumes
(up to 8). FireWire 800 can support up to 2 volumes.
USB3.0/iSCSI/AoE and USB2.0 host channels can also
support up to 8 volumes per host. Up to 16 volumes can be
created on each ARC-5040 RAID subsystem. Multiple host
interfaces make ARC-5040 RAID subsystem well suited for
professionals who need large capacity and exceptional
performance with connectivity.

The ARC-5040 incorporates onboard high performance
400MHz storage processors and on-board 128MB DDR2-400
SDRAM memory to deliver true hardware RAID. Designed
and leveraged with Areca’s existing high performance
solution, this controller delivers high-capacity at the best of
cost/ performance value. It supports the hardware RAID 6
engine to allow two HDDs failures without impact the existing
data and performance. Its high data availability and
protection derives from the many advanced RAID features.
The ARC-5040 RAID subsystem allows easy scalability from
JBOD to RAID. It can be configured to RAID levels 0, 1, 10,
1E, 3, 5, 6, Single Disk or JBOD. The subsystem unit is the
most cost-effective SATA disk drive RAID subsystem with
completely integrated high-performance and data-protection
capabilities, which meet the performance and features of a
midrange storage product at an entry-level price.

Configuration and monitoring can be managed either through
the LCD control panel, RS232 port or Ethernet port. The
firmware also contains an embedded terminal emulation via
the RS-232 port. The firmware-embedded Web Browser-based
RAID manager allows local or remote to access it from any
standard internet browser via a LAN port. The RAID
subsystem also supports API library for customer to write its
own monitor utility. The Single Admin Portal (SAP) monitor
utility can support one application to manage multiple RAID
units in the network. The Disk Stress Test (DST) utility kicks
out disks meeting marginal spec before the RAID unit is
actually put on-line for real business. The hardware monitor
can monitor subsystem environment and show the warning
message.
