i
s a 8 bay 6G RAID storage tower for high capacity storage
MS8X6+HG 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 monitored via event log and
e-mail notifications. Utilizing high bandwidth 2400MB/s mini-SAS (SFF-8088) cabling, the
MS8X6+HG 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 eight hard drive connections into a single cable, 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, and hard drive tray modules. The MS8X6+HG supports SATA and SAS
drives, allowing users the option to choose between high performance and high capacity
storage solutions.
