LSI Logic Corporation announced recently that it has begun shipping production samples of the market's first quad-channel PCI-X SCSI RAID storage adapters with Ultra320 SCSI performance. Designed for enterprise-class computing platforms, LSI Logic's new family of Ultra320 SCSI RAID products with PCI-X support are targeted at the critical need for high-bandwidth server and storage environments. With support for two internal SCSI connectors offering fault tolerant OS and data storage and four external connectors for additional data storage requirements, the MegaRAID SCSI 320-4X provides the industry's most feature-rich RAID solution. The 320-4X is optimized to meet the superior system performance available in PCI-X based server platforms with extensive external storage requirements.
