ATTO Technology's Dual-Ported UltraSCSI SiliconDisk II Solid-State Drive Delivers 80 MB/sec. Transfer Rates
Macworld Spring '96, ATTO Technology ... ATTO Technology, the SCSI leader for Macintosh, has introduced the SiliconDisk 11 family of UltraSCSI solid-state disks-a dramatic upgrade to the company's existing SiliconDisk PRO family. The new SiliconDisk 11 will significantly increase the speed with which Prepress professionals can work with large images by offering transfer rates to 80 MB/sec with dual FAST/WIDE UltraSCSI ports. The SiliconDisk 11 delivers the industry's fastest access time of 0.02 milliseconds, and now features increased storage capacity of up to 2.4 GB. Combined with plug and play compatibility to all SCSI based platforms, the SiliconDisk 11 can maximize system performance while protecting investments in existing hardware and software.
"Using the SiliconDisk 11 to accelerate image processing in applications such as Adobe Photoshop and QuarkXpress means increased productivity," according to Timothy Klein, ATTO's president and CEO. "The faster users can work with today's high-resolution images, the more creative they can be."
ATTO's SiliconDisk 11 delivers ultra-high performance by replacing the slow mechanical action of conventional drives with an array of DRAM memory-providing lightning fast data transfer and access times to a users most important data. In addition, solid-state dependability eliminates the costly down-time and data loss associated with mechanical disk failure.
The SiliconDisk 11 functions the same as a conventional hard drive and is transparent to the system-requiring no custom drivers, software rewrites, or special utilities. By offering full SCS1-3 compatibility, SiliconDisk 11 can be integrated into a variety of SCSI based systems including Apple, IBM, Sun, DEC, and HP. This plug and play integration, in addition to both desktop and standard 5.25" OEM chassis configurations, makes the SiliconDisk 11 a snap to upgrade any SCSI based platform.
UltraSCSI is a subset of the SCS1-3 standard. UltraSCSI effectively increases the synchronous transfer rates of FAST SCS1-2 from 10 MB/sec. to 20 MB/sec. and WIDE SCS1-2 from 20 MB/sec. to 40 MB/sec. UltraSCSI accomplishes this by doubling the clock speed on the 8- or 1 6-bit data path.
"The addition of the SiliconDisk 11 is the latest example of how ATTO Technology strives to maintain its leadership in SCSI technology for the Macintosh market," said Robert Girardi, ATTO's Macintosh marketing product manager. "ATTO expects to announce even more functionality to its UltraSCSI line of products early in 1996."
Based in Amherst, New York, ATTO Technology is a manufacturer of SCSI acceleration devices, and other computer enhancement products for the Macintosh, workstation, minicomputer, and personal computer environments. ATTO distributes its products worldwide through Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Value Added Resellers (VARs), System Integrators, Computer Dealers, and direct to Corporate Users.
