Garden Grove, CA –June 27, 2005 – Kano Technologies Corporation, a market leader in high-performance storage products for Apple Macintosh® and Windows® systems, broadens it’s X-SPAND PRO line of serial ATA storage arrays with the addition of it’s ground-breaking single cable (multilane), 4-channel external SATA solution. The multilane connected X-SPAND Pro is offered in two and four drive hot-swappable desktop tower configurations as well as a low-profile 1U rack mount storage array.
The X-SPAND PRO uses one of the industry’s first 4-channel multilane connector and shielded cable to deliver up to 3.0Gb/sec to each SATA drive channel without performance loss. The cable features a sturdy steel connector with thumb screws which significantly improves connection reliability over existing external SATA products while simplifying cable management. The single cable solution makes the X-SPAND PRO the most convenient plug and play external SATA solution on the market to date. With the proven high performance throughput and hot-swap capability, the X-SPAND PRO serial ATA solution is ideal for DV/DVCAM/SD video storage as well as fast disk based backup storage for small businesses.
Kano Technologies is also shipping their newly developed S-LINK multilane PCI-X serial ATA host adapter for use with the X-SPAND PRO and future multilane storage devices. The S-LINK PCI-X host adapter is one of the first of its kind to ship with a single serial ATA multilane connection with RAID 0/1/10 capability for Windows systems. Support for Macintosh OS will follow in mid-July.
Robert Young National Sales Manager stated, “The new X-SPAND PRO multilane and S-LINK host adapter represent the first step towards simplifying SATA storage for our customers. We can now give our customers the clean, single cable external SATA solution they have been asking for.“
