Designed for easy loading of software to SCSI hard drives,
Grestone Peripherals Inc. offers the D-106 SCSI DataFast as an
affordable solution for multiple SCSI hard drive duplication. The
fact that SCSI is a widely used interface bus with both
IBM-compatible and Apple Macintosh computers makes this the ideal
unit for software duplication by all SCSI users. It is compatible
with both IBM PC's and Apple SCSI drives and will load an operating
system and application software.
For small volume applications, the SCSI DataFast operates as a
stand-alone unit with five drive ports. Each port supports one drive
and data transfers are simultaneously copied from a single master
SCSI drive to four target SCSI drives. During the copying process,
the hardware performs bit-by-bit data verification.
The SCSI DataFast supports the ANSI SCSI-3 standard, which
provides sustained SCSI data transfer rates of over 300 megabytes
per minute. The unit also supports fast and wide (16/32 bit) SCSI
operation. For SCSI transceivers, a five-port single-ended
configuration is standard; individual ports may be changed to
differential configuration via an optional add-on module.
Firmware that configures the DataFast's operating parameters can
be easily updated without opening the unit's enclosure. Free
software upgrades are available through this website.
Up to now the high cost of duplication systems has been
prohibitive of many OEMs, systems integrators and manufactures. The
DataFast line from Greystone Data Systems is a cost-effective
software duplicating solution that provides the flexibility and
power to meet your needs and
budget.
