Promise Technology, the leader in ATA and ATA RAID controllers, maintains an ongoing commitment to providing ultimate performance in ATA RAID solutions. With the FastTrak TX4000 ATA RAID controller card, Promise offers a high-performance, low-cost ATA RAID solution designed to deliver maximum performance with four Ultra ATA/133 drives. The FastTrak TX4000 provides four independent ATA channels, a solution that is optimized for four-drive RAID implementations.
