Until now, transfer rates of 3Gb/s and hardware RAID features, were only available to enterprise class applications. sBOX-RTL allows OEMs and system integrator to offer high-end features for price-sensitive professional market applications. Users of the sBOX-RTL can eliminate CPU loading by using the embedded RISC storage processor, which was developed by Silicon Image, and tuned for the needs of storage applications. This storage processor completely frees up the main CPU and provides the enhanced RAID modes.

sBOX-RTL allows up to five SATA drives can be configured reliable data mirroring, data performance striping, or just plain capacity expansion using the friendly GUI provided, sBOX-RTL RAID modes are:

• Mirroring (RAID 1) — allows SATA Hard drives to automatically copy primary hard drive without any CPU loading (typical 1% CPU resource). The our sBOX-RTL provides automatic rebuild on SATA Hard drives replacement and auto-failover, to eliminate any workflow interruptions.
• Stripping (RAID 0) — allows the SATA Hard drives to performance stripe, to provide maximum throughput to the direct attached PC/Server.
• Spanning — allows to make any SATA Hard drives (same or different sizes) appear as one large drive to the host, fortra capacity (also called concatenation).
• JBOD or Port Multiplier — this allows the SATA Hard drives attached PC/Server to see each drive as just a bunch of drives.
• Striping and Mirroring (RAID 10) — allows the device to improve data availability beyond RAID 5 or RAID 6 with large SATA drives, due to rebuild vulnerability.
• Spanning and Mirroring — allows for large capacity with protection. The sBOX-RTL works with other Serial ATA compliant host port ( see compatible list here), although such other advanced feature (more than 5 drives) JBOD access require a port multiplier aware host controller such as SiI 3124-2™ or SiI 3132™.

Email Notification
Our sBOX-RTL featuring The Email Notification allows the end-user to have the sBOX-RTL Manager send an email if any of the following conditions/situations occur:

Each of the above conditions can be customized for sending options as well as the message that is sent.

Available and ready to ship, our sBOX-RTL provides an essential solution and data rates to next-generation storage used in high-end applications, such as audio/video (A/V) editing. OursBOX-RTL offers full SATA II and ATA-7 speeds (3.0Gbps and 133MB/s, respectively), as well as software RAID 0, 1, support in Win2K, XP and later, Linux 32/64 bit or MAC OS X.x, which is critical for A/V applications.

Up to Five (5) Serial ATA or SATAII 3.5" HDD drives can be easily, quickly and reliably converted to plug-and-play, high speed RAID 0, high reliable RAID 1, or speed and reliable RAID 10.
