Overview of disk array models: Pegasus series

Introduction to disk arrays

Promise Technology 's disk array is an advanced device or software that allows you to manage and secure data on multiple hard drives or SSDs. With the ability to use several disks simultaneously, the disk array significantly increases performance and data security. It is ideal for both businesses and individual users who need reliability and high performance in reading and writing data. Using a disk array allows efficient management of large amounts of data, which is crucial in today's digital world.

Characteristics of the matrix

A disk array consists of several hard drives or SSDs that are connected to provide greater capacity and performance. Each drive in the array can be configured independently, optimizing both performance and data security. Disk arrays often use RAID technology to back up data and protect it from the failure of one of the drives. As a result, regardless of the configuration, users can rest assured that their data is protected and available at all times.

Security

Data security is one of the key aspects of disk arrays. With advanced features such as RAID and regular backups, disk arrays provide a high level of data protection. In addition, many disk arrays offer data encryption features, further enhancing data security. If one drive fails, the disk array automatically transfers data to another drive, minimizing the risk of data loss.

Performance

The performance of disk arrays is much higher than that of a single hard drive. With the ability to use several disks simultaneously, disk arrays can achieve higher data writing and reading speeds. In addition, many disk arrays are equipped with features such as cache, which further enhance performance.
