MaxConnect for New PowerMacintosh G5 (PCI Express)
Up to 500 MB/sec Sustained DATA Transfer Rate
Corona, CA — MaxUpgrades announces availability of MaxConnect, an
internal hard disk drive mounting solution, that allows seven additional
hard disk drives to be installed in a G5 Power Mac (PCI Express) Dual 2GHz,
Dual 2.3 GHz and Quad 2.5GHz systems. The MaxConnect consists of two
mounting assemblies. An Optical Drive Bay Disk Drive mounting assembly that
enables four hard disk drives to be installed in the Optical Drive Bay of
the G5 Power Mac (PCI Express). A CPU Bay Disk Drives Mounting Assembly
that enables installing three hard disk drives in the CPU bay of the G5
Power Mac (PCI Express).

the MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution, a G5 Power Mac
(PCI Express) can house a total of nine disk drives internally, which
enables the system to boot from one drive and allows the rest of the four
or eight drives to be RAIDED (Striped RAID 0) to offer an 4X/8X speed
increase in the data transfer rate compared to a G5 Power Mac single drive.
Sustained Data Transfer rates from 250MB/sec to 500 MB/sec can be achieved
by striping the hard disk drives using Apple Mac OS X built-in RAID
software utility on G5 Power Mac (PCI Express) Systems with PCI-Express
Slots.
The MaxConnect internal hard disk drive mounting solution provides a
practical, cost effective and space saving solution for G5 Power Mac
internal storage expansion without sacrificing the data transfer rate. A
total of nine hard disk drives can be connected to a G5 Power Mac (PCI
Express)() system, producing a 8x performance increase in sustained data
transfer rate of system’s main storage system. The MaxConnect internal hard
disk drive mounting solution ships with optional power cables, SATA Data
Cable and Serial ATA Controller card. Click for more information…
