In addition, the FastTrak IDE RAID Controller made by Promise Technology, Inc. contains built in high performance SCSI data handling techniques such as tagged command queuing with elevator seek. Figure 4 Data reads are tagged and re-ordered.
Load balancing sends multiple data read requests to the mirrored drives.
