    Accusys Acuta 4S

    Milind Bandekar, Aug 31, 2005 1010 hrs IST

    Four hard drives in a RAID for maximum performance and security!

    2TB of storage with RAID support, hot swapping, portable, easy installation, SATA interface

    Overpriced, Not max at performance, useless software, setting up Raid 5 is a painful task.

Performance

Before we start detailing out the actual performance of Acuta 4S, let s see what RAID is all about.
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) a disk subsystem that is used to increase performance or provide fault tolerance or both. RAID uses two or more regular hard disks and a RAID disk controller. The RAID configuration offers a perfect combination of total available capacity and data rescue capability, supporting RAID levels 0, 0+1, 5, and RAID 5+hot spare. Of which, RAID Level 5 - Block Interleaved Distributed Parity, provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance, making it one of the most popular implementations of RAID. Hence we decided not to focus testing on a RAID 0+1 array, because those results were sure to be less interesting given the option to use a faster RAID 5 array.

These RAID products are good. You can approach GIANIJI.COM people to spread your products in whole Punjab. They are quiet reliable people.

I will definitely buy it when I have funds. May be within three months time (Pssst, acually I hope its price also comes down, Hahaha!) For mega creative activities this innovation is surely a must.
