1.1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing aMagic AES-S3505UE storage appliance. It is a low-cost solution for digital home
and small office storage appliances. Features of the aMagic AES-S3505UE include advanced RAID modes.
It’s available from leading storage partners in pre-configured set-ups with USB or eSATA host connections.
Simply connect the appliance with an appropriate USB or eSATA cable to the USB host or eSATA bracket cable
(must be connected to your mainboard SATA port) or HBA (eSATA host bus adapter can be purchased
separately and must be installed in your host computer); it’s that simple.
The aMagic AES-S3505UE storage appliance are available in eight different configurations (Clean, Large,
Clone, R0, R1, R10, R3 and R5), each offering a different application of features and capabilities.
The aMagic AES-S3505UE Storage Processors are powered by JMicron JMB394 chip, 1 to 5-ports Serial
ATA II Port Multiplier with RAID function support. It is designed to provide SATA port expansion, data protection
and performance aggregation at various applications. It is a self-contained storage processor chip which
completely frees up the main CPU loading and the SATA ports comply with eSATA specification, the USB ports
comply with Hi-Speed USB specification, making it suitable for use in external storage applications.
The aMagic AES-S3505UE storage appliance uses JMicron’s production-proven Multi-port Serial ATA PHY
technology and JMicron-proprietary storage processor to provide very high efficient SATA RAID operation.
With an easy configuration scheme, the device can be a pure port-multiplier which provides SATA port expansion
just like a SATA Hub, or hard-drive performance booster which provides a high performance device seen by host
controller or hard-drive data protector which automatically backup data to prevent data loss from hard-drive
damage. aMagic AES-S3505UE storage appliance also has advance mode to provide both benefit of
performance boost and data protection.
The aMagic AES-S3505UE storage appliance architecture which provides:
• Fully hardware-accelerated RAID Engine.
• No driver, BIOS or software required for RAID operation.
• Independent of device SATA port connection sequence.
• Rebuild proceeds continuously between power cycling.
• Supports on-line read data integrity check.
• Supports on-line command based bad sector recovery.
• Supports disk modes: Clean, Large, Clone.
• Supports RAID levels: 0, 1, 3, 5, 10.
• RAID 3 / 5 write-back cache to enhance performance.
• Supports Auto-Rebuild on Clone, R1, R3, R5, R10.
• Supports Hot-Spare on Clone, R1, R3, R5, R10.
• Rebuild speed: 200GB/hour.
• Supports various RAID configuration methods.
