HDElement and the CalDigit RAID Card
The CalDigit RAID Card is an incredibly flexible hardware RAID solution that supports online migration and expansion. This means you can pay as your business grows and you’ll never have to worry about losing your data. The CalDigit RAID Card features an Intel XScale processor, 256MB of fixed cache and battery backup. It supports 100% hardware RAID performance and protection for up to four internal drives and twelve externally via the HDElement (an enclosure which contains 4 drives). The HDElement connects directly to the CalDigit RAID Card through the extremely fast mini-SAS ports on the rear of the card. CalDigit’s RAID Shield software makes it easy to manage the complete RAID system and provides advanced event notification. The CalDigit RAID card has all the innovative technology found in the HDPro like ASTT and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD. The more drives connected to the CalDigit RAID Card, the faster the performance. With just four drives, speeds of up to 245MB/s can be reached with RAID 5 protection, upgrade to 16 drives and the speed increases to 500MB/s. The CalDigit RAID Card and HDElement are completely bootable and even Bootcamp bootable, something no other RAID card can do. Several accessories are available for different configurations, making the CalDigit RAID Card and HDElement a flexible and powerful solution.
