MODEL- 9500S-4LPKIT        VENDOR- 3WARE/AMCC STORAGE

FEATURES- Serial ATA Hardware RAID Controller Kit
       Half-length/low-profile SATA RAID conroller, Supports up to 4
        Serial ATA Drives.
       3wares advanced switched RAID architecture - StorSwitch unleashes
        the power of Serial ATA (SATA), delivering the highest hardware
        RAID performance in its class. The 3ware 9500S hardware RAID
        controllers deliver in excess of 400 Mbytes per second (MB/sec)
        sustained RAID 5 reads and over 100 MB/sec RAID 5 sequential writes
        with less than 3% CPU utilization (Tested using Intels Iometer
        benchmark program on a dual processor Intel Xeon (2.4GHz) system
        with PhoenixBIOS, 512MBytes system RAM, Microsoft Windows 2000
        Advanced Server, the 3ware 9500S-8 66MHz SATA RAID controller and
        Maxtor 7Y250MQ, 250GB, 7200 RPM drives).
       Includes Controller Card, cable, drivers, manual.
