The ARC-1886-xNxI presents the advanced hardware RAID technology in enhanced performance of using 6 Bays M.2 NVMe and an improved enterprise data protection of using two SAS/SATA ports. The hardware RAID adapter accesses the data of NVMe disk array with a workload preset value. While the workload level stays within the preset value, the RAID adapter would constantly back up the data of NVMe disk array to the other two SAS/SATA ports hard disk arrays. This is designed in a 1.6 GHz dual-core ROC processor, DDR4-2666 memory and PCIe Gen 4.0 host/device interface and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 3, 5, 6, Single Disk or JBOD.
Multi-booting Capability:
There are many advantages features for ARC-1886-xNxI RAID adapter uEFI support for more than one macOS version to reside on one Apple machine.
(1). Support a primary operating system and an alternate system that you use less frequently
(2). Allows a new operating system to configure all applications needed, and migrate data before removing the old operating system
(3). Useful in situations where different software applications need different operating systems
(4). Software developers needs to have multiple operating systems for development or testing purposes
The user would need to simply reboot the device and select the alternate option to switch from one version to others version.
