Areca 1883X 12Gb SAS RAID Controller - Dual Port - Areca 1883x

Areca 1883x 

The new third generation ARC-1883x offers advanced technology for increased performance and improved enterprise data protection. It is designed with 1.2 GHz dual core ROC processor, DDR3-1866 memory architecture and PCIe 3.0 interface for the most performance-hungry database and IT applications. The ARC-1883x includes 8 ports low profile for 12Gb/s throughput on each port. 

The Areca 1883X 12Gb/s SAS RAID controllers raise the standard to higher performance levels with several enhancements including new high performance 1.2 GHz dual core ROC processor, a DDR3-1866 memory architecture and high-performance PCIe 3.0 interface bus interconnection. The low profile controllers by default support onboard 2G of ECC DDR3-1866 SDRAM memory.

The 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller support broad operating system including Windows, Linux (Open Source), FreeBSD (Open Source), Solaris (Open Source), Mac, VMware and more, along with key systems monitoring features such as enclosure management (SES-2, SMP, & SGPIO) and SNMP function.

Designed and leveraged with Areca’s existing high-performance RAID solution, ARC-1883x provides superior levels performance and enterprise level data protection for the most demanding next generation server and storage environments. It supports the hardware RAID 6 engine to allow two HDDs failures without impact the existing data and performance. Areca 1883X allows users to hot swap drive in the event of a drive failure with zero downtime. The optional flash-based backup module (FBM) provides power to the cache if it contains data not yet written to the drives when power is lost. ARC-1883x also supports traditional Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery backup module (BBM) to protect cached data on RAID adapters.
