The EnhanceRAID™ T8 SS features a next generation 64-bit Scale Core processor capable of sustaining data rates up to 330MB/Sec, and offers a cutting edge "web-based" user interface which provides complete storage control over a standard web browser. The EnhanceRAID T8 SS desktop RAID storage features new 4xSAS Infiniband (SFF-8470) interface with support for both SAS and SATA disks. EnhanceRAID systems provide a host of RAID advanced functions, empowering users with capabilities normally found in enterprise-class storage systems.

Versatile RAID Storage Module

The EnhanceRAID 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.

Industry Proven SATALINK™ Technology

The EnhanceRAID system was built on the world-known hybrid I/O technology, the SATALink™, a SAS-to-SATA converging technology pioneered by Enhance Technology to bring low-cost SATA disks to the broadband high performance computing environments. The SATALink™ hybrid I/O technology has been since helped resellers and integrators to offer more cost/effective storage solution to the end customers.

Next Generation Storage Engine

Performance Powered by the latest Intel IOP80331 storage processor, the EnhanceRAID™ T8SS system produces an outstanding 330MB/s speed to satisfy for users with large video editing, data backup or recovery, and archiving projects.

Total Storage Management & Control

EnhanceRAID™ controller is unparalleled in its simplicity, easy of use, installation, and storage management. Our user friendly Web Graphical User Interface allows one to deploy and manage the disk array from virtually anywhere in the world with simple internet access, no additional management software ever needed. With the “Quick Install” wizard, the storage administrator can get the system up and running in a few minutes; and setting up RAID level, volume, cache, etc. can all be done and monitored through the Web GUI.
