3ware 9000 Series
The Highest Performing Hardware RAID
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 MB per second (MB/sec) sustained RAID 5
reads and over 100 MB/sec RAID 5 sequential
writes with less than 3% CPU utilization 1.
The StorSwitch architecture can simultaneously
handle commands to and from multiple drives.
No single drive is penalized by another while
executing read or write commands. The on-board
processor ensures the host CPU is managing your
applications not the RAID controller functions.
The result is superior overall performance
compared to other Serial ATA controllers.

Highest Reliability
Hardware RAID provides higher fault tolerance
than software RAID because it protects your data
in the event of an operating system failure.
The 3ware 9500S SATA hardware RAID controllers
support RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50 and Single Disk
(JBOD).
The innovative AMCC StorSave Platform supplies
power to the cache memory module in the event
of a system power loss without sacrificing
performance. It includes exclusive features that
utilize a write journaling technique, which
enables not only controller but also drive write
caching to continue in the event of a power
failure. The highest levels of performance are
continuously maintained while guarding against
data loss.
Integrated Solutions
3ware offers a truly innovative SATA cabling solution for large-scale configurations where space
and airflow are at a premium. The 3ware 9500S
Multi-lane (MI) controllers combine a highly
reliable, locking cable/connector system that
combines four SATA ports into one on the
controller side. Available in 12 or 8-port configurations, the 3ware 9500S-MI controllers increase
reliability, and simplify installation and routing.
