You are an innovator. You understand the needs of your SMB customers and know which server products and technologies help them (and you) achieve business success. That's why you choose Intel — a technology leader dedicated both to innovation and superior channel service and support.
. . . and that's why you choose 3ware RAID controllers.
3ware: Use the Right Tool for the Job
From entry-level to value-end and performance targeted systems, 3ware offers accommodating serial storage product portfolios that include solutions with SATA connectivity for cost/performance optimized vertical installations as well as expandable SAS solutions for high availability in mission critical applications.
Whether a RAID customer requires SAS, SATA or SAS/SATA connectivity, 3ware provides the right tool for the job.
Simply go with the flow to choose the right tool!
Choosing between SAS and SATA is easy when you consider your options and the interface requirements for your specific applications.
Begin by asking yourself whether you need SAS or SATA hard drives, what host bus you desire (PCI-X vs. PCI Express), will you be using multiple enclosures and will you be using more or fewer than 24 hard drives.
Your answers to these simple questions will make your SAS/SATA selection as easy as 1-2-3.
