Arena SA-3378S/SA-4378S are great selection for small businesses that are in need of a compact and cost efficient RAID subsystem. Featuring an Intel IOP333 processor, single channel PCI-e to SATA-II, and a Java-based GUI, the SA-3378S/SA-4378S provide the same reliability as its larger predecessors in a smaller chassis.
PCI-e switch
PCI-e Switch can connect 7 sets PCI-e RAID with RAID functions setting; it can keep heavy data loading IO in 2GB/s throughput to Host PC. If users like to extend PCI-e RAID systems over 7 sets, they can simply cascade another switch with the first switch without any further operation.
Re-drive card
Arena also provides several PCI-e re-driver card for users option in for different configuration. No extra charge for HBA card, we are bundling re-driver card with either RAID system or switch.
