MaxConnect for G5 Power Mac
Internal Storage Expansion
MaxConnect is an internal hard disk drive mounting solution, that
allows nine additional hard disk drives to be installed in a
G5 Power Mac system. The MaxConnect consists of three mounting
assemblies.
An Optical Drive Bay Disk Drive mounting assembly that
enables four hard disk drives to be mounted in the Optical Drive Bay of
the G5 Power Mac.
MaxConnect PCI Bay Disk Drive Mounting Assembly that enables installing two hard disk drives in the PCI bay of the G5 Power Mac.
MaxConnect CPU Bay Disk Drive Mounting
Assembly that enables installing three hard disk drives in the CPU bay
of the G5 Power Mac .A MaxConnect CPU Bay Disk Drive Mounting Assembly is offered both in Aluminum and PolyAcetal Thermo Plastic
MaxRAID for G5 Power Series 500+ MB/s Sustained Transfer Rate
With the MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting
solution, a G5 Power Mac can house a total of nine disk drives
internally, which enables the system to boot from one drive and allows
the rest of the disk drives to be RAIDED (Striped RAID 0) to
offer an 8X speed increase in the data transfer rate compared to a
G5 Power Mac single drive. Data Transfer rates up to 500 MB/sec
sustained can be achieved by striping the hard disk drive using Apple
MacOS X built-in RAID software utility on G5 Power Mac Systems
with PCI-X Slots.

The MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution
provides a practical, cost effective and space saving solution
for G5 Power Mac internal storage expansion without sacrificing the data
transfer rate. A total of nineteen hard disk drives (eleven disk drives
internally and eight disk drives externally) can be connected to a
G5 Power Mac system, producing a 18x performance increase in
sustained data transfer rate.
The MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution can be ordered
with optional power cables, Serial ATA Data Cables and PCI Serial ATA
Host Controllers. |
