6-Minute Tutorial Available - "RAID 6 Essentials"

Burlington, MA. January 8, 2008. Winchester Systems Inc., a leading data storage solutions company, today announced a new 6-minute tutorial entitled: "RAID 6 Essentials."

The tutorial explains how the limitations of RAID 5 in today's very large disk arrays endanger data and how RAID 6 with dual parity protects data far better, especially during array rebuilds. Finally, a discussion on performance shows how applications can run at full speed with RAID 6 at comparable cost.

According to the company's white paper, "Enterprise RAID 6" (www.winsys.com), RAID 6 dual parity offers 500 to 30,000 times longer MTDL (Mean Time To Data Loss) than RAID 5.
