Ideal solution for System Integrators planning a NAS solution –
July 26, 2012, Shenzhen, China
– Giada's new MI-NAS25 motherboard
is aimed as a solution for System Integrators. The MI-NAS25 is designed
for network storage and file serving. Built around Intel's NM10 Express
chipset and the 10 watt Atom D2500 CPU which is on-board, the MI-NAS25
has 6 SATA ports, offering the best connectivity to NAS
(Network-attached storage).
Available in North America through its branch office in August 2012 for
the recommend retail price of US$169.95, the Giada MI-NAS25 is driven
by Intel's nimble Atom Cedar Trail technology and supported by up to
4GB of memory.
The backbone of the MI-NAS25's specially-designed data storage
subsystem is the Marvell 88SE9230 RAID controller, which supports
ultra-high speed 6.0 Gbps SATA disks. This system features hardware
RAID 0, 1, and 10 to increase performance and protect against data
loss, even if a disk fails.
Up to six SATA disks can be connected directly to the motherboard. The
Marvel 88SE9230 supports four 6.0 Gbps SATA drives, and the Intel NM10
chipset handles an additional two 3.0 Gbps SATA drives. In addition, 2
USB 2.0 sockets can be used for additional lower-speed storage if
required. The PCIe 1x slot can provide further storage expandability
possibilities, as well as wireless networking and other upgrade options.
To keep data moving across the network uninterrupted, the MI-NAS25 has
not one, but two Gigabit LAN sockets, driven by the fast and reliable
Intel 82583V Gigabit Ethernet Controller chip. This system supports
Ethernet 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab with great stability.
For legacy control and monitoring application support, the MI-NAS25
features two COM ports (1 on the back panel and 1 internal header) and
also 1 LPT parallel printer port.
The MI-NAS25 has a VGA video output, with its built in Intel GMA 3650
graphics supporting DX9, 3D, and video playback. And there's support
for life-like 5.1 channel surround sound from the board's High
Definition ALC662 audio interface.
System Integrators will be delighted with the MI-NAS25 as the heart of
a compact and economical but reliable and expandable system.
