2.0 Diamond-VT Technical Overview The Diamond-VT uses Aggregated Data Transfer Technology (ADXT) to achieve the high data transfer performance you need. ADXT merges the performance of multiple ATA drives together to achieve sustained, full bandwidth Fibre Channel data transfer rates. Unlike other storage arrays which use expensive technology, to create a higher performance SCSI or Fibre Channel disk drives to achieve storage solution. performance, the Diamond Series uses lower cost Using t

ADXT Powers ATA to New Levels The original notion of RAID was to build high Interface Engines (AIE) organize data streams for capacity, reliable storage subsystems using large storage or retrieval. numbers of inexpensive disk drives. Thus its Virtual Drive Manager Data is accessed through original definition: Redundant Array of Virtual Drives using an implementation of the Inexpensive Drives. Over time that definition standard SCSI protocol controlled by the Virtual became Redundant Arra
