The
EliteSTOR ES316X6+BHG
is a 3U 16 bay 6G RAID storage rackmount for high
capacity storage solutions. The ES316X6+BHG is bundled with a high-performance
RAID-on-Chip RAID controller card that offloads complicated RAID calculations from the
computer or the enclosure to the dedicated RAID engine. High performance can be
achieved with a lower cost of ownership compared to RAID embedded subsystems. RAID
setup and maintenance can be controlled via built-in Web Browser interfaces, and the system
/ RAID management can be monitored via event log and e-mail notifications. Utilizing high
bandwidth 2400MB/s mini-SAS (SFF-8088) cabling, the ES316X6+BHG supports SAS or SATA
hard drives to deliver superior read / write speeds that are crucial in performance-driven
environments such as the video editing industry. The mini-SAS connection combines sixteen
hard drive connections into a single cables, reducing possible points of failures while
preserving uninterrupted data transfer. A built-in SAS expansion port enables the system to
connect up to 5 units or 120 HDD drives daisy-chained together. System status
information such as the hard drive, power supply, and cooling fan status are provided by the
LED. All necessary hardware comes standard including the RAID controller card, mini-SAS
cable, hard drive tray modules and built-in mounting rail. The ES316X6+BHG also supports
SATA drives, allowing users the option to choose between high performance and high
capacity storage solutions.
