The
EliteSTOR ES4
24X6+BHG
is a 4U 24 bay 6G RAID
storage rackmount for high
capacity storage solutions. The ES424X6+BHG is bundled with a high-performance
RAID-on-Chip 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 monitor via event log and e-mail notifications. Utilizing high bandwidth
2400MB/s mini-SAS (SFF-8088) cabling, the ES424X6+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 twenty-four 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 ES424X6+BHG also supports SATA drives, allowing
users the option to choose between high performance and high capacity storage solutions.
