Microtech Announces PowerRAID FAST/WIDE Disk Arrays
Sustained Data transfer Rates of 20MB/s

EAST HAVEN, CT (January 4, 1995)--- Microtech has partnered with ATTO
Technology, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance
SCSI acceleration products, to provide a new line of RAID 0 and 1 disk
arrays in Fast and FAST/WIDE configurations. These exceptionally fast
products are geared towards high end applications such as Prepress,
Digital Video and File servers that demand high SCSI data throughput with
extremely low overhead.

Available in 2 - 8GB subsystems, each PowerRAID includes two MicroLynx disk
drives, one ATTO SiliconExpress IV Accelerator, ExpressMirror or
ExpressStripe software, and interface cables. The SiliconExpress IV is a
high performance FAST/WIDE accelerator card which sustains 16-bit SCSI-2
data transfer rates up to 20MB/sec. Due to its RISC based SCSI processor,
SiliconExpress IV outperforms the SCSI port by over 1400 percent. ATTO's
ExpressMirror software provides full-featured fault tolerance through disk
mirroring along with all the performance expected from disk arrays.
ExpressStripe allows data to be stored on two or more drives by
alternating the blocks between them - ultimately reducing the average
access time while increasing the overall transfer rate.

"Microtech and ATTO have been working together to bring high-end SCSI and
RAID products to Mac users for many years", commented Brian Campbell,
President of Microtech, "The combined experience, knowledge and technology
of our companies creates an exceptional product offering".

Based on Microtech's new MicroLynx storage system, PowerRAID includes
features such as interlocking "lego-style" stackability, external SCSI and
AC jumper blocks, LCD/keypad for hard disk information display and Forced
Perfect Termination, a termination scheme designed for applications where
data integrity is paramount. An optional "RD series" drive features a
front removable disk drive and power supply for high availability,
enhanced portability, serviceability and security applications.

The SiliconExpress IV is offered in a seven (7) inch form factor making it
compatible with all NuBus Macintosh, Quadra, Performa and Centris
machines. Prices vary depending on configuration with delivery starting in
early February. Microtech also offers MicroLynx Tower - a pedestal
designed for deskside installation - and MicroLynx Rack, a standard 19"
rackmount enclosure.
