Getting the picture
Tue Apr 21 2009, 13:40
EZQUEST is set to show off its latest bit of RAID kit which it says can manage 230MBps.
The Thunder RAID will probably end up among the high performance video market.
It is basically a 6TB eSATA RAID which when pared with the EZQuest four Port eSATA II PCI Express Card can achieve transfer speeds of over 230MBps.
It is a four bay, hot-swappable and hot-pluggable desktop, with up to 6TB of storage and can be configured to RAID levels 0,1,3,5,10, JBOD or as a single drive with its built-in RAID controller that allows full online RAID migration.
The Thunder RAID MSRP starts at $1,579 and will ship in May.µ

There is no confusion the article was changed after I posted.
No... if you read carefully, he says 230MBps... big 'B', meaning bytes. 230MB/s seems a reasonable clip to me. (Admittedly, I think we're used to seeing megabits as "Mbps" and megabytes as "MB/s", so I can understand the confusion.)
raid 5 IS AMOUNG fASTEST & vISTA jUST CANN'T TAKE IT.Only along Route 66 can any 6 number exist, especially RAID, Mappless terrritory as it dosn't exist. Yet, Now as edges smooth in on 7, Wow, Could Mainboard take RAID 5 on 6 TB of Files, Especially GAME files? Call It AirCraft Carrier or At Least Atomic Bomb. drashek
No RAID 6 leaves only 1 & 10 as safe levels to use. RAID 5 is quite dangerous, the chance for dual failure and total loss is too great.
That said, implementing RAID 6 makes only sense with 5 or more drives, 6-12 is optimal.
230Mbps? So it is slower than a single sata 2 connection?
