The
EliteSTOR ES316X6+BSHG
is a 3U 16 bay 6G RAID storage rackmount for high
capacity storage solutions. The ES316X6+BSHG 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+BSHG 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+BSHG also supports SATA drives, allowing users the option to choose between high
performance and high capacity storage solutions.
