The
EliteSTOR ES424X6+BSHG
is a 4U 24 bay 6G RAID storage rackmount for high
capacity storage solutions. The ES424X6+BSHG 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 ES424X6+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 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+BSHG also supports
SATA drives, allowing users the option to choose between high performance and high
capacity storage solutions.
