MODEL- 9550SXU-12ML-10PK     VENDOR- 3WARE/AMCC STORAGE
    
FEATURES- Serial ATA II Hardware RAID Controller- Bulk 10 pack
       Half-length/full-height SATA II RAID conroller, Supports up to 12
        Serial ATA Drives.
       The 3ware 9550SX PCI-X to SATA II RAID controller delivers over 
        800MB/sec RAID 5 reads and exceeds 380MB/sec RAID 5 writes, making 
        it 200% faster than the industry-leading 3ware 9500S RAID 
        controller. 
       7th generation StorSwitch non-blocking switch fabric technology and 
        sophisticated SATA II features including 3 Gbps transfer speed, 
        Native Command Queuing (NCQ), and Port Multiplier support drive 
        this unmatched performance.
       Combined with an advanced RAID management feature set that includes 
        web-based, command-based, and API software components, the 9550SX, 
        available in 4, 8, 12, and 16-port configurations, is the most 
        compelling RAID solution available.
