The
EliteSTOR ES424X6+BSHP
is a 4U 24 bay 6G RAID storage rackmount for high
capacity storage solutions. The ES424X6+BSHP is bundled with a high-performance dual core
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 unit is supportive of e-mail
notications
and SNMP trap. Utilizing high bandwidth 2400MB/s mini-SAS (SFF-8088) cabling,
the ES424X6+BSHP 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 mini-SAS cable, hard drive tray modules and built-in mounting rail. The ES424X6+BSHP
also supports SATA drives, allowing users the option to choose between high performance
and high capacity storage solutions.
