The ARC-4036Ml disk tower is an external
solution with SFF-8088 host connectivity
for use with your PC and Mac. With
ARC-4036Ml drive box, it can support up
to 8 disks tower box. The ARC-4036Ml is
for hots or RAID adapter with 2 external
SFF-8088 connectors which support up to
8 direct attached SAS/SATA signals.
Designed and leveraged with Areca
existing high performance external PCIe
RAID adapter, this solution delivers
high-capacity performance at the best of
cost/performance value. The intelligent
cooling continuously adapts to environ-
mental conditions by automatically
controlling the speed of cooling fans. This
super silent design, optimizing balance
between noise reduction and necessary
cooling, helps the resellers to offer the
cost effective storage solution to the end
customers.
ARC-4036Ml has integrated the 6Gb/s
re-driver chip on its backplane. This can
guarantee the signal from external
connector on the external 6Gb/s SAS
RAID adapter to the ARC-4036Ml back-
plane connector.
The ARC-1213-4x and ARC-1223-8x with
ARC-4036Ml deliver superior overall
performance compared to others external
PCIe solution. High transfer rates make
the ARC-1213-4x and ARC-1223-8x with
ARC-4036Ml well suited for audio/video
application especially the rapidly growing
demand from the Mac video editing
markets.
