MaxConnect for G5 Power Mac Internal Storage Expansion
|
MaxConnect is an internal hard disk drive mounting solution, that allows nine additional hard disk drives to be installed in a G5 Power Mac system. The MaxConnect consists of three mounting assemblies.
An Optical Drive Bay Disk Drive mounting assembly that enables four hard disk drives to be mounted in the Optical Drive Bay of the G5 Power Mac.
MaxConnect PCI Bay Disk Drive Mounting Assembly that enables installing two hard disk drives in the PCI bay of the G5 Power Mac.
MaxConnect CPU Bay Disk Drive Mounting Assembly that enables installing three hard disk drives in the CPU bay of the G5 Power Mac .A MaxConnect CPU Bay Disk Drive Mounting Assembly is offered both in Aluminum and PolyAcetal Thermo Plastic
MaxRAID for G5 Power Series 500+ MB/s Sustained Transfer Rate
With the MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution, a G5 Power Mac can house a total of nine disk drives internally, which enables the system to boot from one drive and allows the rest of the disk drives to be RAIDED (Striped RAID 0) to offer an 8X speed increase in the data transfer rate compared to a
G5 Power Mac single drive. Data Transfer rates up to 500 MB/sec sustained can be achieved by striping the hard disk drive using Apple MacOS X built-in RAID software utility on G5 Power Mac Systems with PCI-X Slots.
<
The MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution provides a practical, cost effective and space saving solution for G5 Power Mac internal storage expansion without sacrificing the data transfer rate. A total of nineteen hard disk drives (eleven disk drives internally and eight disk drives externally) can be connected to a G5 Power Mac system, producing a 18x performance increase in sustained data transfer rate.
The MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution can be ordered with optional power cables, Serial ATA Data Cables and PCI Serial ATA Host Controllers. |
