Features

• 12G SAS Expander Technology - Connect 24 SAS or SATA drives with only one single SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 Mini-SAS HD cable to HBA (Host Bus Adapter) or RAID controllers. (SATA drives require MUX controller when use in dual controller mode.)
• Support 2.5" and 3.5" SATA/SAS/SSD - 24 of 3.5" hard drives tray supporting 3.5" hard drives along with 2.5" form factor screw holes.
• Superior Performance - With support of SATA 6G or SAS 12G hard drives and 48Gb/s bandwidth performance can reach over 2300MB/s in read and 2000MB/s in write (tested with LSI/AVAGO ATTO and Areca Controllers).
• Staggering Spin-Up - Built-in staggering spin-up for hard drives during power up. Thus extending the life / duty cycle of the hard drives and power supply.
• Support Industry Standard SGPIO - Serial General Purpose Input/Output (SGPIO) is utilized to provide the hard drives health & enclosure real-time information via the mini-SAS HD connection cable to the HBA (host Bus Adapter) without additional serial cable.
• Scalability - Supports up to 5 enclosures or up to 120 hard drives daisy-chained together for capacity expansion.
• Multi-purposes - Supports both SAS (Serial SCSI) and SATA hard drives to meet the requirements of different applications with different price/performance characteristics. Cost-effective SATA drives could be used for capacity orientated storage such as disk-to-disk backup data-archiving and digital video editing. Enterprise level SAS drives could be employed for I/O intensive applications such as transactional databases.
• Standard Redundant Power Supply - Hot-swappable redundant power is included for protection against power failure. Power supply status can be easily monitored by the status LED and audible alarm alert.
• Upgradable to dual controller - System can start with single controller with dual 12G SAS channel and upgrade to reduntant controller for added protection in the future.
• Wide Range RAID Adapters Support - Compatible with Areca LSI/AVAGO SAS MegaRAID Intel SAS RAID Adaptec SAS RAID and 3Ware SAS RAID adapters.
