The
EliteSTOR ES208X6+BHG
is a 2U 8 bay 6G RAID storage rackmount for high capacity
storage solutions. The ES208X6+BHG is bundled with a dedicated 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 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 ES208X6+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 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
controller card, mini-SAS cable, hard drive tray modules and built-in mounting rail. The
ES208X6+BHG also support SATA drives, allowing users the option to choose between high
performance and high capacity storage solutions.
