Promise Technology SuperSwap 1100 SUPERSWAP-1100-BC Folheto

Hot swap is supported in the SATA specification, but implementing a hot swap solution
requires more than simply using Serial ATA drives — you must use an enclosure like the
SuperSwap 1100 that provides hard disk access while the system operates.

With the SuperSwap 1100 and a Promise Serial ATA RAID solution, replacing a failed
drive with a working drive couldn’t be easier. Just unlock and slide out the SuperSwap
1100 drive carrier from the housing, exchange drives, and slide the carrier back in, all
without powering down the system. Promise Serial ATA RAID adapter cards instantly
begin rebuilding data to the working drive.

Hot Swap is an essential feature for the RAID storage required by high-availability
servers. If you are using a RAID array for data protection (RAID1, RAID 0+1, or 
RAID 5), you need a SuperSwap drive enclosure for each drive in the array.

The SuperSwap 1100 also works with Promise Technology’s SATA150 series non-RAID
Serial ATA adapter cards, enabling a high-capacity removable storage solution. Now you
have instant access to a low-cost, ultra-high capacity.
