MODEL- 9650SE-16ML-KIT    VENDOR- 3WARE/AMCC STORAGE

FEATURES- PCI Express to Serial ATA II Hardware RAID Controller
       AMCC's 3ware 9650SE SATA II hardware RAID controllers deliver
        industry-leading RAID 6 and RAID 5 performance, robust fault
        tolerance, and multi-terabyte capacities. A PCI Express host
        interface, Multi-lane connectivity, StorSwitch architecture and
        sophisticated SATA II features drive this unrivaled performance.
       The 3ware 9650SE PCI Express to SATA II RAID controller pushes
        AMCC'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
        800MB/s RAID 6 reads and 600MB/s RAID 6 writes.
       3ware's parallel XOR RAID 6 parity generation algorithm maximizes
        RAID 6 throughput, so that RAID 6 enabled 9650SE controllers
        deliver unequaled RAID 6 performance.
