ICP-VORTEX GDT6528RD RAID valdiklis, 2 kanalai, U160 SCSI, RAID 0,1,4,5,10 **Atnaujintas**

When your trusty old server needs a new lease on life, the ICP-VORTEX GDT6528RD is the quiet hero that makes it happen. This isn't just another SCSI card – it's a hardware RAID powerhouse that takes the heavy lifting off your CPU, so your system can focus on what matters: keeping your data safe and your workflow smooth. With dual Ultra160 SCSI channels, it's like having two dedicated lanes for your storage traffic, and with support for RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, and 10, you get the flexibility to protect your data exactly the way you need.

Why you'll love it

• Dual-channel speed: Two Ultra160 SCSI channels, each delivering up to 160 MB/s, mean you can connect more drives without bottlenecking – perfect for separating high-traffic arrays or expanding your storage pool.
• Hardware RAID smarts: The onboard RAID engine handles parity calculations, so your CPU stays free for other tasks. That means consistent performance even during heavy read/write operations.
• Connect up to 30 devices: With 15 devices per channel and two 68-pin internal connectors, you've got room to grow without adding extra controllers.
• Legacy-friendly: Standard PCI interface fits right into older server and workstation motherboards, making it a smart, budget-friendly upgrade for systems you're not ready to retire.
• Refurbished and ready: Each card is tested to ensure reliable operation, so you can trust it to keep your data safe.

Perfect for

If you're an IT pro managing legacy SCSI storage, or a home lab enthusiast who loves tinkering with classic hardware, this card is your ticket to robust RAID without the cost of a new system. It's also great for businesses that need to keep an old server running for specific applications – just slot it in, configure your RAID, and you're set.
