Areca 1880 SAS/SSD RAID Card Reviewed - Lightning Strikes at 3.6GB/s @ The SSD Review


Today we are testing the new Areca 1880ix-12 RAID controller. This is Areca' premier SATA 3 internal RAID offering and signifies a great leap forward for a company known to cater to the enthusiast crowd.  With the speed and power of SSDs reinventing mainstream storage, RAID card manufacturers have been under tremendous pressure to deliver a product that can handle the massive throughput and high random reads of SSD's combined into ultra speedy RAID arrays.

Previous generation RAID cards have been a trying venture for manufacturers as  they have been unable to scale well in arrays, making the cards themselves a pointless endeavor.  Ripping apart Arecas new flagship line of controllers here though, we think you will be amazed at the numbers we have pulled up for the 1880ix-12.
