Freedom Technologies iStor 4970  24-Bay SAS to SATA II  RAID Subystem

Freedom Technologies iSTOR 4970 is a 24-Bay 4U, SAS to SATA II (3GB/S) RAID Subsystem with a single Infortrend ASIC 400 RAID Controller. The iSTOR 4970 provides outstanding reliability, functionality and storage capacity. With current expandability up to 264TB.

The iSTOR 4970 dual redundant, load-sharing power supply modules and power management circuitry accommodate the dynamic requirements of today's drives. This system further includes power supply-to-drive isolation, which allows control over voltage and current fluctuations.

IOSmart allows for the flexible configuration of logical drives, logical volumes and logical partitions and ensures instant RAID availability via background logical drive initialization. Fibre loops' load balancing is provided within the subsystem. The firmware's embedded intelligent algorithms, such as Adaptive Write Policy and Guaranteed Latency I/O, improve sequential write performance and ensure the fast and continuous flow of data.

The DrvSmart utility provides an easy way to store data while keeping it safe. One of the main DrvSmart functions, Media Scan, retrieves data from degraded or damaged hard drives and handles low quality drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. Other DrvSmart features include disk cloning, drive roaming, SMART, transparent resetting of non-responsive hard drives, and RAID parity update tracking and recovery.
