Acard's Small Business RAID Appliance

An Acard Chip Is Inside

Setting up the ARS-3031 in RAID 0 mode with four hard drives makes it easy to exceed the Ultra160 SCSI's available bandwidth (usually < 130 MB/s). However, you won't find these bandwidths very often, since only few application scenarios powered by an insecure RAID 0 array make sense. We expect RAID 0+1 or RAID 5 to be the predominant choices. In this case, the Ultra160 bandwidth will be enough.
