The Best Keeps Getting Better
The 3ware 9650SE PCI Express to SATA II RAID
controller pushes A
MC
C’s established leadership
in RAID controller performance to new heights.
While 3ware controllers continue to lead the
market in RAID 5 performance, the 3ware 9650SE
outshines the competition as the new standard
bearer for RAID 6 performance, delivering over
700MB/s RAID 6 reads and 600MB/s RAID 6 writes.
The 3ware 9650SE offers the most comprehensive
line of PCI Express controllers, available in both
low profile and full height footprints with 2, 4, 8,
12, 16, and 24-port configurations. All 4-port and
above models feature 3ware’s awar
d-winning
Multi-lane connectivity. The 9650SE supports
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, Single Disk, and JBOD.

RAID 6 eliminates the risk of data loss if a second
hard disk drive fails while the RAID array is rebuild-

. I
n a 3war

are simultaneously calculated, written, and

calculation enables the array to survive up to two
drive failures without losing data, significantly
improving fault tolerance. The 3ware parallel XOR

RAID 6 throughput, so that RAID 6 enabled
9650SE controllers deliver unequaled RAID 6

Get Connected via the Multi-lane
Expressway
AMC
C’s award winning Multi-lane high band-
width SATA connection system is fast, secure,
simple, and clutter free. Multi-lane combines
four SATA ports into a single locked connection.
Four lanes of high speed SATA traffic travel
through just one cable, significantly reducing the
number of cables needed t
o connect controllers,
backplanes, and standard SATA drives. A 16-port
Multi-lane controller needs only four cables,
compared to sixteen cables with discr
ete solu-
tions, for dramatically better reliability, airflow and
convenience.
Enterprise-class RAID Storage
The 9650SE’s advanced RAID features, SATA II
connectivit
y, and powerful 3ware performance
ar
chitecture make it the ideal controller for
v
er
tical applications that require the highest
levels of sustained write and read performance
including NAS storage, web servers, cluster
servers, supercomputing, near-line backup and
ar
chival, security systems, pro audio and video
applications
, and other demanding st
orage
applications that need high-bandwidth, high-
capacity sequential performance.
