 Latest 6G Technology - 6G interface provides double the bandwidth of the older 3G interface. SAS 6G and SATA 6G hard drives connected via a 6G backpane and 6G SAS expander controller. 3G hard drives are backward compatible.- Cable-less & Modular Design - Cable-less backplane and controller module guarantees maximum data signal integrity, eliminating potential troubles by cable-wiring, for easy to service and maintenance.
- Dual mini-SAS input - Supports dual HBA redundancy clustering with SAS drives for highly redundancy applications.
- Staggering Spin-Up - Built-in staggering spin-up for hard drives during power up, extending the life / duty cycle of the hard drives and power supply.
- LCD Display & Enclosure ID - Built-in LCD displays critical enclosure information. The LCD displays the ID of the enclosure, where each enclosure could be easily identified in a multiple-enclosure environment.
- Enclosure Management (SES) - Utilizes industry standard SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) to monitor enclosure and disk environmental conditions. SES is also used by the enclosure to communicate with the host RAID adapter to display enclosure information within the RAID management console.
- Scalability - Supports up to 4 enclosures chained together for capacity expansion.
- Multi-purposes - Supports both SAS (Serial SCSI) or SATA hard drives to meet the requirements of different applications with different price/performance characteristics. Cost-effective SATA drives could be used for capacity orientated storage such as disk-to-disk backup, data-archiving, and digital video editing. Enterprise level SAS drives could be employed for I/O intensive applications such as transactional databases.
- Enclosure Craftsmanship - Compact 2U x 12-bay with very short depth (18.12”), Built with durable metal material. Excellent cooling with minimal noise.
- Wide Range RAID Adapters Support - Compatible with Areca ARC-1680X, LSI SAS MegaRAID, Intel SAS RAID, Adaptec SAS RAID, and 3Ware SAS RAID Adapters.
The AccuSTOR AS316X6 is a 3U 16 bay rack-mountable 6G SAS JBOD rackmount for high capacity storage. Supporting latest SAS 6G technology, AS316X6 provide 6G solution for 6G SAS or 6G SATA drives. With 6G RAID controller, AS316X6 provide over 1GB/s performance in various RAID format. Dual mini-SAS input allow dual host bus adapter redundancy applications. Due to the wide selection of SAS RAID controllers and diverse controller interfaces, most JBOD units are unable to support detailed enclosure monitoring. This limitation delays the process of troubleshooting, where administrators are unable to promptly identify the problem at first glance. The AccuSTOR AS316X6 addresses this issue by incorporating a user selectable switch, allowing the unit to support monitoring via various brands of RAID controllers. Once the controller model has been determined via the selectable switch, the AS316X6 utilizes industry-standard SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) technology, to allow the communication between the rackmount and the host RAID adapter, without the need for additional monitoring software or hardware cable. Compatible RAID cards include: LSI MegaRAID and Areca SAS RAID controllers.
