      RAID Price War Set to Erupt with Intels New ICH5R Chip

      According to industry sources, Intel earlier informed its motherboard clients that it would release two south-bridge chips, the ICH5 and ICH5R, for its upcoming 865 (Springdale) chipsets. Of the two, the ICH5R is the one supporting RAID 0 function. Despite its simple specification, board makers believed that the introduction of the ICH5R will significantly affect the RAID chip market, especially as the chip is quoted only $3 higher than the ICH5. While Promise Technology offers more chips with different specifications, including RAID levels 0, 1 and 0+1, its chip is priced at $6-7 per unit, which means that motherboard manufacturers may have to pay 50 percent more in cost to incorporate RAID functions into their products than simply adopting the ICH5R.

      StorageTek Tiers Channel Partner Effort

      StorageTek this week plans to unveil its Total Channel Program aimed at ensuring its channel sales continue to outpace the companys overall sales.
