EN | 9 DVAS Series | Instruction Manual | Product Introduction 1 PRODUCT INTRODUCTION DVAS Series Digital Video Array is a high speed, fault tolerant RAID subsystem design. It uses a mid-plane design to eliminate the problems associated with cable interconnects. Unlike conventional RAID products, the DVAS Series disk array uses ATA disk drives to store RAID data, rather than high cost SCSI or Fiber Channel disks. Its advanced electronic soft-start technology makes hot-swappable ATA drives very reliable.
