EE Herald: Apple Mac OS X Drivers Available for LSI 3ware RAID Controller Cards

LSI has made available the Mac OS X driver for its 3ware 9690SA and 9650SE series RAID controller cards.

"Video and digital entertainment production has a tremendous need for high-performance storage that protects the valuable data generated by creative professionals," said Brent Blanchard, director of Worldwide Channel Sales and Marketing, LSI. "As the world's leading supplier of host bus RAID solutions, we are providing the Mac user community with a proven RAID solution backed by our extensive experience and deep hardware, firmware and validation competencies."

LSI's 3ware RAID controllers optimize reads and writes in multi-stream environments by dividing total bandwidth equally among the various streams to allows the controller to simultaneously sustain multiple streams without creating performance bottlenecks.

The Intelligent Read Prefetch feature in StreamFusion + adds a new read-ahead caching method to proactively retrieve data from media and stored locally on the controller with the anticipation that it may be requested by the host.
