Enhance R4 SCSI RAID Rackmount Storage
 
ArrowProduct Overview
A Pioneer and leader in hybrid I/O technologies, Enhance Technology proudly presents EnhanceRAID™ R4, a compact 1U 4-disk embedded rackmount storage system with built-in OS transparent RAID engine that wraps Four (4) SATA disks into one RAID (0, 1, 3, 5, 6) protected volume, while connecting to the high bandwidth Ultra320 SCSI port. The EnhanceRAID™ R4 is ideal for SMB, OEM, VAR, & storage solution providers for daily Disk-to-Disk (D2D) backup, it is also developed for e-mail archive, savvy gamer, audio editing and SD video editing, etc. The EnhanceRAID™ R4 Series features a next generation 64-bit Scale storage processor capable of sustaining data rates up to 260MB/Sec, and offers a cutting edge "web-based" user interface which provides complete storage control over a standard web browser. EnhanceRAID systems provide a host of RAID advanced functions, empowering users with capabilities (such as RAID 6 features) normally found in enterprise-class storage systems.
 
ArrowIndustry Proven SATALINK™ Technology
The R4's EnhanceRAID system was built on the world-known hybrid I/O technology, the SATALink™ , a SCSI-to-SATA converging technology pioneered by Enhance Technology to bring low-cost SATA disks to the broadband high performance computing environments. The propriety MultiLink™ I/O technology is introduced to connect additional disk array system through Multi-lane interface that helped resellers and integrators to offer more cost/effective storage solution to the end customers

ArrowVersatile RAID Storage Module
The EnhanceRAID R4 system is a host independent storage appliance which provides a transparent and driverless method of adding additional RAID protected storage to an existing IT infrastructure, regardless of your operating system or hardware. It is ideal for Microsoft Exchange and SQL server, and provides the fastest, simplest, safest way to share protected data between desktops, networks and work groups.
 
ArrowNext Generation Storage Engine
Performance Powered by the latest Intel IOP80331 storage processor, the EnhanceRAID™ system produces an outstanding 260MB/s speed to satisfy for users with large video editing, data backup or recovery, and archiving projects.
