In addition, the SUPER PDSG4 features
U320 SCSI with host RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support to maximize storage reliability and performance.
While cabling that supports SCSI U160 and
U320 standards are more expensive than other storage architectures they can be easier to work with because multiple devices can be connected to a single cable run and each cable run can be several meters in length.
Systems designers for direct-attached storage (DAS) must choose between a low-cost storage interconnect like parallel ATA, or a mainstream interconnect like parallel
U320 SCSI.
The boards carry six USB 2.0 ports as well as a Gb LAN Ethernet port, and feature AC'97 CODEC; the X5DA8 also offers dual-channel
U320 SCSI and ZCR SCSI RAID support.
The combined company boasts assets of
u320 billion and more than 20 million customers.
