MediaVault uses an Ultra320 SCSI interface for the fastest possible storage.
This
classy industrial appearance RAID enclosure has an Ultra320 Controller
that supports RAID
levels 3 or 0. View Benchmarks.
The MediaVault 320-R has 5 removable drives. The next generation onboard controller
takes care of all formatting needs and assumes all the processing for the
RAID leaving
your computer's CPU with no storage overhead. Appearing as one huge volume,
your MediaVault controller takes care of all RAID functions as well as performing
constant diagnostics on
your drive performance and health.
Every MediaVault 320 is fully tested and burned in during 20 hours of continuous testing before shipping.

RAID Level 3 is Byte-based striping with a parity drive. It gives superb speed
on large file size transfers. A favorite of digital video and audio professionals.
RAID3 is not
as efficient in small file size transfers. Fault protected via a dedicated
parity drive the MediaVault can rebuild a failed drive with the installation
of a new drive unit. 20% of your total drive capacity is used for parity storage.
RAID Level 0 is for pure speed. No fault protection, just straight striping
across the disks for the highest possible throughput. All five drives are used
together for the maximum in capacity and performance. RAID0 striping is never
recommended for long term data storage. As just about any component failure will
lose
all
data
stored on the array backups are essential. Striping is for storage acceleration
plain
and
simple.
MacGurus recomends that you connect your MediaVault 320-R via either an ATTO
UL4S Single Channel Ultra320 host card or the UL4D Dual Channel Ultra320 host
card.
These are the supreme performers on the Mac platform and warrant our highest
regard.
These host cards are compatible with G3, G4 and G5 models.
The MediaVault 320-R will also work fine connected
to an ATTO UL3S or UL3D Ultra160 host cards, albeit at Ultra160 speeds. Adaptec
29160 and 39160 host cards will connect with the same limitation.
