Does the Reality have a built in disk controller? And how does it compare to the Perception and Perception RT?
A. Yes it does, the disk controller on Reality is both faster and more flexible than the ones we have had previously on the Perception and Perception RT. It is capable of striping together as many as 15 drives into one single volume. The Perception had no real drive striping capabilities and the Perception RT can only stripe two drives at a time. The Reality disk controller is able to transfer the full 40MB/s of the UW SCSI2 specification.
