Note: Windows XP (and earlier) and Mac OS 10.4 (and earlier) support only MBR partition type, which can recognize up to 2TB per volume. For CADA-SA8 disk arrays with more than 2TB total volume (after RAID), multiple partitions of 2TB or less will be required. Windows XP x64 edition, Windows 2003 Server SP1, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Mac OS 10.5 and newer support GBT partition type, which will allow your volume of more than 2TB to be recognized. Linux users will need to install a driver to use the PCI-X or PCI-E controller. This series has been tested with Red Hat Linux 4.6.

The CADA-SA8 is truly the top of the line. The 8-bay array is available with the largest capacity we offer, at a whopping 8TB, and offers all the great features you’d expect from a Cavalry multi-bay system: RAID security, a transfer rate of 3.0Gbit/sec with eSATA, swappable hard disks and RAID controller with PCI host adapter.

Preconfigured at RAID 5, it supports RAID levels 0, 0+1, 5 and RAID 5+hot spare, and offers automatic background rebuilding in RAID 5. Its SATA interface provides a speedier boot process, faster loading of programs and data, and enables rapid sustained transfer SATA II transfer rates of 3.0GBits per second.

Ideal for saving hefty files, protecting databases or working directly on the drive, the CADA-SA8 delivers unparalleled high-capacity performance and data security.
