Kill SCSI II: NetCell's RAID 0 Performance + RAID 5 Security Equals SyncRAID @ TomsHardware
High-End RAID On The Desktop PC: NetCell SyncRAID / RAID XL Put To The Test
Excerpt Summary
"In most respects, NetCell has actually achieved its declared goal of offering the performance of a RAID 0 simultaneous with the data security of a redundant array mode such as a RAID 5. This is made possible by means of a process that is based on RAID 3 while cleverly widening its bottleneck: RAID XL.
However, first we must emphasize that these levels of performance only work on demanding desktop applications - which is exactly what NetCell wants - not on server applications. Because of the SyncRAID system used - which is based on 64-bit information units - large quantities of data can be read and written for redundancy with little effort.
But this also means that reading and writing smaller data blocks such as those often used by server applications takes more effort, because all hard drives need to be constantly accessed. The result is a considerably reduced number of I/Os per hour."

NetCell Builds New RAID Accelerator
TD6405 Lowers the Cost of RAID Deployment
NetCell announced today that it has begun volume production of the first in a line of multi-disk storage accelerator semiconductor devices for the performance PC and workstation market, based on its recently announced 64-bit SyncRAID storage acceleration technology. The product is aimed at PC gamers and digital library users who are increasingly turning to disk arrays to boost performance and protect large volumes of irreplaceable data. The TD6405 solves the reliability risks associated with simple striped redundant array of independent disks (RAID) systems in performance desktop PCs and workstations, while dramatically simplifying installation and usability as compared to other hardware and software based desktop RAID solutions.
