3Ware 9550SX-12 (9550SXU-12), bulk, include cables and driver
The 3ware 9550SX PCI-X to SATA II RAID controller delivers over 800MB/sec RAID 5 reads and exceeds 380MB/sec RAID 5 writes, making it 200% faster than the industry-leading 3ware 9500S RAID controller.
7th generation StorSwitch™ non-blocking switch fabric technology and sophisticated SATA II features including 3 Gbps transfer speed, Native Command Queuing (NCQ), and Port Multiplier support drive this unmatched performance.
