Galaxy HDX to HDX2 - What’s New!! • All FC goes to 4Gb backward compatible to 2Gb and 1Gb
• New 400MHZ ASIC is 50% faster than previous 266MHZ
• Hardware RAID6 Standard!
• Raidwatch Lite embedded in ASIC– No software to load!
• 750GB drives increases each enclosure by 50%
• 24 bay dual controller has 8 host connections~~ great for small SANs without a SWITCH
Why Hardware RAID6 ?
• Hardware RAID6
• Up to 2 drive failures without data loss
• Reduces the risks of using large parity groups
• Minimal performance loss compared to RAID5
• Correctly handles bad blocks during rebuild (unlike RAID5!)
• Correctly handles bad blocks during rebuild (unlike RAID5!)
• Correctly handles bad blocks during rebuild (unlike RAID5!)
