RAIDON Technology has scheduled to release a brand new model in Q3 2014 to welcome a new era of RAID module, iR2622. It retains all advantages and highly in demand RAID features of existing popular model SR2611, further iR2622 has tuned up the RAID spec by doubling current speed with SATA 6G to bring overall performance to the next level, and it’s HDD hot-swap trays has also made the enhancements with 2 steps lock for being more favorable to the industrial computing industry.

Nowadays, PC has evolved from day to day to be more powerful and capable for processing multiple tasks in data, no doubt in happening that a centralized computing could be a trend reaching PC users as hardware has made more and more efficient, but however the applications will be, data that being processed are always the main purpose to compute, thus storage drives reveals the importance of itself, nonetheless, no matter whether the capacity rapidly growing SSD or the enterprise level HDD both still contains a certain threat of risk in reliability for causing termination of operation from unpredictable lifecycle and damage estimation of data loss could be arduous and sometimes are difficult to recover even on a considerable cost.

Although the cloud concept is a convenient backup plan for most of the users, but there are still concerns for keeping sensitive data in privacy to most enterprises, and on a technical aspect it might not fully satisfy a real-time operating servers or a 24/7 running systems for making an extensive risk on networking connections. Most of 2 stage backup or offsite backup does not performs in real-time, thus the experienced IT professionals averagely conducts a real-time backup via the method of RAID 1 mirroring to synchronize two individual storage drives storing and accessing the exact same data concurrently, assuring data integrities and maintaining normal operations when any failure occurs to either one of the drive.

RAID 1 function is a well grown technology, indeed this function could perform through many software or it is even a built-in feature to some motherboards, however, by sharing out system resources to perform RAID not just could lead to a possible decrement in system performance, but also upraise the risk level upon the occurrence of a system failure which might cause the corruption in software RAID and requiring a massive time for managing data migration instead, thus software RAID might be considered to a single option as avoiding HDD failure as a HDD failure prevention without consideration other consequences.

This explains the demand for internal hardware RAID modules to most system integrators, it runs independently and operates just as a HDD, no need to be an IT specialist for installation or maintenance and it efficiently reduces servicing costs. Moreover, via an individual RAID processor, a hot-swappable HDD can also be treated as a clone copy as for a multiple stage backup plan.

The manufacturers of small RAID modules in Taiwan has drawn a good distance among other competitors with widely used RIAD 1 module for 2 of 3.5” HDD, such as Accusys ACS-75200 and RAIDON SR2611. RAIDON however always uses the best endeavor in details of product design and development to satisfy the demands, and via the presence of iR2622 with latest RAID spec in SATA 6G spec for an enhanced performance, also with the design of EMI avoidance and aseismatic (anti-vibration), R2622 RAID module will definitely and continuously be in the favors of professional and industrial applications.
