ITEM# FASTTRAK/TX2K Description: Promise FastTrak TX2000 Ultra ATA133 RAID PCI Card

FastTrak TX2000 raises consumer-based ATA RAID to professional levels. The FastTrak TX2000 ATA RAID card supports Ultra ATA/133 drives to rock workstations and boost small (or large) office servers like never before.

FastTrak TX2000 breaks the video/sound barrier with RAID 0 striping data speeds that easily exceed that of a single Ultra ATA/133 drive. Or use RAID 1 mirroring or 0+1 to protect valuable office data...and take advantage of fast Ultra ATA/133 transfers.

Features:
  • Uses standard high octane Ultra ATA/133 drives
  • Builds huge capacity arrays with up to 4 drives
  • Supports 66MHz PCI motherboards for doubled data throughput
Benefits:
  • FastTrak TX2000 offers better data transfer support for Ultra ATA/133 drives under RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 than a conventional controller, while at the same time protecting user data every time you save a file. You get burst data transfers of 133MB per second for your workstation or office server. TX2000 keeps your system up and running… even if a drive fails. Plus it supports on-the-fly hot swap replacement of a failed drive to get to your data 24 x 7 for continuous PC operation.
  • FastTrak TX2000 builds maximum value and reliability with its industry-leading, best-selling Ultra ATA/133 Promise chipset that’s been thoroughly tested by virtually every drive manuf a c t u r e r. The onboard Promise BIOS auto-identifies and optimizes attached drives, assuring maximum throughput.

Specifications:

Drive Support:
  • Supports Ultra ATA/133 drives; backward compatible with older Ultra ATA and EIDE drives
Controller Data Channels:
  • Two independent channels assure maximum performance of each attached drive
Large LBA Mode:
  • 48-bit LBA supports drive sizes greater than 137GB each
Data Transfer Rate:
  • Up to 266MB/sec (depends on drive speed and use of multiple drives and presence of 66MHz PCI bus)(Backward compatible with 33MHz PCI bus for up to 133MB/sec data transfers)
RAID Levels:
  • RAID 0 striping of up to 4 drives for performance
  • RAID 1 mirroring of 2 drives for fault tolerance
  • RAID 0+1 striping/mirroring of 4 drives
  • JBOD spanning of up to 4 drives for capacity
Data Protection:
  • Mirrors data to second drive or drive pair on-the-fly; offers hot spare feature for instant rebuild of failed drive for RAID 1 array; hot swap failed drive and rebuild data in background for continuous PC operation (Hot swap with ultra ATA/133 speed requires Promise SuperSwap 1000 Option)
PCI Bus Support:
  • Compatible with 66MHz PCI motherboards; automatically backward compatible with 33MHz; PCI 2.2 compliant
Disk Array Support:
  • Supports up to 4 arrays with different RAID levels; different arrays are selectable and bootable
FastBuild BIOS Auto-Menu:
  • Provides auto configuration and optimization; view/create/delete arrays; rebuilds failed disks
Promise Array Management:
  • Windows-based utility monitors status of arrays, hard drives, and optional Promise
Software:
  • SuperSwap 1000 enclosures via TCP/IP; warns of drive failure; allows rebuilds of mirrored arrays; synchronization of hard drives
Advanced Monitoring:
  • Monitors S.M.A.R.T. status of attached hard drives; logs array errors and events to Windows NT/2000/XP Event Log; permits e-mail notification of errors and array events; Linux Syslog compatible
Operating Systems:
  • Windows XP/2000/NT4/Me/9x; Novell NetWare 4.1x/5.x; RedHat Linux 7.0/7.1/7.2; TurboLinux Server 6.5; TurboLinux Workstation 7; SuSE Linux 7.2; OpenLinux 3.1
