What people are saying about nStor... “The members of the LAN Times technical staff have an overall awareness of all networking products offered in a particular product category and therefore can give an authoritative recommendation on the best products in the field. The products are evaluated on networking, functionality, compatibility, installation, and the ease of use--thus differentiating these tests from a stand-alone PC approach. This network management orientation means that the LAN Times technical staff would buy your product and recommend that others buy it as well. We would like to congratulate you (nStor) for creating such a product." Vivian C. Aedo, LAN Times "nStor RAID is reliable, offers redundancy, fault tolerance, uses industry-standard components and is scalable. Purchasing the nStor product is less expensive than building a custom solution, and the nStor solution is plug-and-play ready." Mayo DeLeon, MicroMedia Solutions, Inc. (MSI) "The nStor CR8e is a relatively compact tower unit that is well made, easy to configure and can hold a maximum of eight 9GB drives, yielding a whopping 63GB RAID-5 array. It is also a fast performer."
Marc Spiwak & Eric Elgar, Computer Reseller News (CRN) "The CR8e from nStor is the first UltraWide RAID subsystem we have tested, and it is impressive. When not hampered by network bottlenecks, it can provide neck-snapping performance. The CR8e proved that, joined with a solid server, it can make a winning datawarehouse system built for intensive queries. For example, in queries the Power-Edge-with-CR8e combination beats the quad-processor, 512MB, RAID-equipped Dell PowerEdge 6100 by almost 200 percent. If you have a disk I/O bottleneck or you need to add a lot of fault-tolerant capacity, look at nStor's offering."
Tom Stearns, LAN Times nStor CR8e - A robust external RAID array with lots of reliability features and useful monitoring features courtesy of the SAF-TE controller in the cabinet.
Alan Stevens, PC Magazine UK The nStor CR6e is just what the most discerning, if not paranoid, data manager ordered. nStor thought of everything in making this device suit the serious server application space.
Keith Walls, BackOffice Magazine The nStor RAID products provide high performance, fast access, and are affordable, flexible, and easy to manage and configure. Although other companies swear up and down they have the fastest RAID subsystem, when we did product comparisons, we determined the best value for our client’s investment was the nStor RAID subsystem.
Deanna Porter, Product Manager, R & S Integrated Products & Services The new drives let you daisy-chain subsystems together for as much as 750 GB of usable RAID 5 capacity. Great for companies investing in rack-mount network components.
Heather Bennett, Imaging Magazine The CR8’s built-in compliance with the SCSI Accessed Fault-Tolerance Enclosure (SAF-TE) standard sets this product apart from the rest. And its management software is excellent.
Tom Stearns, LAN Times The fault-tolerant features of the CR8 are a definite plus. Couple the base fault-tolerance with Alert Manager and you have an invaluable storage tool for maintaining high-availability and high performance. BackOffice Magazine We chose the CR6 so our data runs, address correction runs, and bulk mailings are never in jeopardy.
William Brown, MIS Director, Datamax When you sell a RAID subsystem, you’re selling more than hardware; it’s insurance against the user’s worst nightmare: downtime. To be fault-tolerant and convenient to operate, RAID should provide remote notification problems with the enclosure’s key components. This is one of the benefits of nStor Corp’s new AM RAID controller, which complies with SAF-TE (SCSI-Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosures), an emerging SCSI specification for enclosures. nStor’s AM RAID controller can set your mind at ease.
Karen Franse, VAR Business We were very impressed with nStor’s technical support, who reacted quickly and effectively to replace the downed drive. Our ultimate goal is to reduce unscheduled downtime in prime time and non-prime time hours to zero. Our nStor CR8 systems will play a big role in helping that happen.
