News from Promise: new RAID card
My contact at Promise cleared this for release;
"We are also going to have a 4-channel FastTrak100 which can run on a 66 MHz PCI bus, so we can get transfer rates up to 266 MB/s. At Comdex we were using 4 IBM 75 GXP drives and getting 140 MB/s."
While a 66 mhz PCI is only found on server boards now, this will change in time. On a 33mhz PCI the transfer rates with this board can go as high as 133 MB/s.
Speculation: the Fasttrak100 4 channel may also be of interest to overclockers since "normal" Fasttraks don't tolerate ovcocking of the PCI bus very well. I will update this notion when and if this is confirmed.
It's due for release in the Feb/March time frame.
