Performance at a glance Regardless of the selected configuration, the PROVIGO 550 is in the upper mid-range segment and is suitable for small to mid-size businesses and users. Whilst the bandwidth with increasing number of hard drives remains constant, the I/O transaction performance scales extremely well. The use of RAID-6 for added security in the event of hard drive defects decreases the performance.
