CalDigit announces PCIe RAID card

CalDigit has announced the CalDigit RAID Card, a Mac hardware RAID card, capable of RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and JBOD. The new card works with any PCIe-equipped computer, and supports four internal drives, with up to twelve external drives and offers full RAID hardware support. It is Mac-bootable and can boot a Boot Camp Windows volume as well. It offers speeds up to 500 MB per second and a current maximum capacity of 16 TB. The card requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher (and works with Windows and Linux as well) and is available now and lists for $550.

For greater flexability, the CalDigit RAID Card can migrate users data and RAID levels (moving from one RAID level to the next without losing current data). External expansion is done by adding one, two or three HDElement cases, each containing four drives. The card includes an Intel XScale processor with 256 MB of onboard cache, to keep the RAID load off the user's CPU(s). It has 4 internal Mini-SAS connectors and three external Mini-SAS connectors and offers an optional back-up battery.
