It's RAID5 with a big cache. I haven't seen anybody dealing with this "product" that I would consider honest enough to buy **anything*** from. Watch yourself. Go to YAHOO or ALTAVISTA and do a search on RAID7. Another thing to search for in this area would be "Willet". He's a guy who has spammed a bunch of newsgroups making grandiose claims for this product. Do your due diligence on this one.
