Broadcom Introduces the RAIDCore BC4000 Family of RAID Controller Cards

Broadcom announced the RAIDCore BC4000 series RAID host bus adapter (HBA), delivering reliable, high performance Serial ATA (SATA) RAID controller cards currently available.

Completely Integrating Broadcom's Serial ATA Technology from Chip to Code, New RAID Host Bus Adapter Family Offers Highest Reliability, Excellent Price/Performance and the Most Extensive and Robust SATA RAID Feature Set

Offering the industry's most extensive SATA-based RAID feature set, the BC4000 RAID controller cards are an excellent choice for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprise workgroups looking to improve data integrity and data access without the high costs usually associated with enterprise-class RAID functionality.

Over the past few years, RAID controller cards employed with SCSI disk drives have been standard equipment within dedicated enterprise servers, used to achieve high speed data access while maintaining data integrity. However, through the recent adoption of Serial ATA technology, RAID controller cards employed with SATA drives have performed comparably to their SCSI drive counterparts, but at much lower price points.

The BC4000 RAID HBA brings to market the industry's most extensive and robust RAID feature set for SATA-based applications, combining enterprise-class data integrity and data access performance at SMB price points.
