The innovative design of the RAID Array 200 Subsystem’s SWXCR controller
incorporates all the functionality of a SCSI-based RAID controller with an EISA-
based host adapter into a single, low-cost module that you can install directly into
your system. The SWXCR RAID controller supports a wide variety of RAID levels
including: 0, 1, 0 + 1, 5, and JBOD (just a bunch of disks).
This unique product, which is ideal for desktop systems or workgroup servers,
provides the power and flexibility of controller-based RAID with the scaleability of
StorageWorks packaging. The StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Subsystem Family
offers a broad choice of packaging and RAID levels that allow you to configure a
powerful and flexible high-availability storage solution that meets your unique needs.
