ARC-5010

Internal IDE to IDE RAID Enclosure

The internal IDE RAID Enclosure integrates high performance and high data protection capabilities, and its standard form factor, which are designed as the storage component for the entry level servers to meet the rapidly growing demand from small to medium enterprise and SOHO markets. ARC-5010 guarding against single point of failure with complete system redundancy through the use of hardware RAID 5 engine with advanced array management features. Tekram ARC-5010 includes a 3 consecutive 5.25” storage enclosure with 5 IDE drive bays serviced by individual ATA/133 channels, two host channels: ATA/133 and serial ATA, and cooling fan. The environmental information and RAID management are easily accessed via the control panel, web browser’s RAID manager, or the VT-100 compatible emulator.
