SAS 2.0 is designed for much higher speed data transfer than previous available and
backward compatibility with SAS 1.0. The 6Gb/s SAS interface supports both 6Gb/s
and 3Gb/s SAS/SATA disk drives for data-intensive applications and 6Gb/s or 3Gb/s
SATA drives for low-cost bulk storage of reference data. The ARC-12x5 family only
support directly attach to 4/8 SAS/SATA drives without supporting the expand
function.

Maximum Interoperability
Unparalleled Performance
Unsurpassed Data Availability
The 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers raise the
standard to higher performance levels with several
enhancements including new high performance
dual core ROC Processor, a DDR3-1333 memory
architecture and high performance PCIe 3.0 x8
lane host interface bus interconnection. The low
profile controllers by default support on-board 1G
of ECC DDR3-1333 SDRAM memory. The optional
battery backup module provides power to the
cache if it contains data not yet written to the
drives when power is lost. The test result is
against overall performance compared to other
6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers. The powerful new
ROC processors integrated 8 6Gb/s SAS ports on
chip delivers high performance for servers and
workstations.

As storage capacities continue to rapidly increase,
users need greater level of disk drive fault
tolerance, which can be implemented without
doubling the investment in disk drives. The RAID
6 can offer fault tolerance greater that RAID 1 or
RAID 5 but only consumes the capacity of 2 disk
drives for distributed parity data. The 6Gb/s SAS
RAID controllers with extreme performance RAID
6 engine installed provide the highest RAID 6
feature to meet this requirement. The controller
can concurrently compute two parity blocks and
get very similar RAID 5 performance.

Easy RAID Management
The controllers contain an embedded McBIOS
RAID manager that can access via hot key at M/B
BIOS boot-up screen. This pre-boot McBIOS RAID
manager can use to simplify the setup and
management of RAID controller. The controller
firmware also contains a browser-based McRAID
storage manager which can be accessed through
the Ethernet port or ArcHttp proxy server in
Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and more environ-
ments. The McRAID storage manager allows local
and remote to create and modify RAID set, volume
set, and monitor RAID status from standard web
browser. The Single Admin Portal (SAP) monitor
utility can support one application to scan multiple
RAID units in the network.
