The Promise FastTrak TX2300 2-port SATA RAID PCI adapter offers a low-cost solution for implementing a RAID 0 or RAID 1 storage system with up to two high-performance Serial ATA disk drives. Promise Technology is the leading provider of Serial ATA interface solutions, and with the FastTrak TX2300, users can benefit from Promise's experience in maximizing Serial ATA storage system performance.

The FastTrak TX2300 leverages Promise's proven RAID 0/1 software engine for fast, efficient, and reliable RAID. Use RAID 0 for massive capacity and maximum performance or RAID 1 for data protection. Promise's RAID engine also offers performance enhancing technology like elevator seek and load balancing for efficient performance. And for maximum uptime, the FastTrak supports features like transparent data recovery and drive rebuilds performed in the background.

The controller supports SATA 3Gb/s drives and conforms to Serial ATA II, Extensions to SATA 1.0a specification with Native Command Queuing and Disk Activity LED headers support. In addition to Native Command Queuing, the controller also supports Tagged Command Queuing with drives that can take advantage of this capability. Command Queuing increases I/O performance by intelligently reordering data requests so that the data can be more quickly accessed than if the commands weren't ordered.

The FastTrak TX2300 is designed to maximize flexibility throughout the life of the storage system. For non-RAID SATA users, the FastTrak TX2300 simplifies the transition to a RAID array. For a FastTrak TX2300 RAID user, the software supports online capacity expansion and RAID level migration. And as capacity and performance requirements grow, the FastTrak TX2300 supports MetaData on Disk, enabling easy migration to Promise external storage solutions.
