    OWC Mercury Rack Pro Bundle

    16.0TB 1U 4 Bay Rack Storage Solution
    + OWC mini-SAS PCIe HBA Card

    OWC affordability, reliability, and ease of use in a single 1U rack space.
    Need massive amounts of storage?
    This 4.0TB system is perfect for high-performance video ingest, and fast A/V editing and offers non-redundant storage (RAID 0), or mirrored (RAID 0/10). Affordable, reliable, and easy to use for either desktop or rackmount applications. The components of this bundle are:
    Rack Pro
    It's a four-bay drive dock that can sit on your desk, or be mounted in a rack. With its high-capacity and 24Gb/s mini-SAS speeds, the RackPro offers a great combination of drive access flexibility, and sheer data throughput. All four drives in the Mercury Rack Pro show up as individual drives, so you can mix and match drives of any size and brand and hot-swap the drives at will. The tray-less drive bay design makes drive management, access, and replacement quick and easy while the mini-SAS architecture takes advantage of mini-SAS speeds, and expansion possibilities as you add more drives or racks.
    OWC PCIe 2 Port Host Bus Adapter (HBA)
    Whether you're a small enterprise working with big data, or large creative studio working with sizable high-resolution files, the OWC Jupiter mini-SAS PCIe Host Bus Adapter Card has the speed and reliability that you need. The 2-port mini-SAS PCIe HBA Card installs into any computer that accepts a PCIe card to let you experience the performance benefits of OWC Jupiter mini-SAS enterprise-class storage.

    The OWC mini-SAS PCIe HBA Card allows you to use a single external mini-SAS connection for up to 24Gbps throughput, or use both connections for up to 48Gbps performance. This card is based on technology from an award-winning and trusted source; LSI.

    Supporting more than 1,000 SAS addresses, and with enough processing power to support over 500,000 I/Os per second, this is truly an enterprise-grade adapter.
    • High performance with 6Gb/s data transfer rates per channel
    • Support for RAID modes 0,1, and 10
    • 8 lane PCIe 2.0 host interface.

    Recommended mini-SAS Connecting Cables

    • When using Passive/passthrough mini-SAS storage solutions equipped with "6G" 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0 Revision) drives, we strongly recommend only using connecting cables of 1 meter or shorter length due to the increased signal integrity requirements of 6G drives. Active storage solutions such as SAS expander systems equipped with 6G drives can utilize mini-SAS connecting cables up to 10 meters in length.

    Macintosh System Requirements

    • Mini-SAS cable included: 1M mini-SAS cable (included) is required for use with SATA/SAS 6Gb/s drives due to signal integrity requirements, longer cable lengths are not supported. When using SATA/SAS 3Gb/s drives, longer cable lengths (sold separately) can be used and are available here.
    • external mini-SAS: Macintosh with external mini-SAS via 3rd party controller card interface, (not included). external mini-SAS requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Including ‘Lion’ 10.7.x.
    • Time Machine® Compatible: Mac OS X 10.5 (version introduced) and later.

    Windows System Requirements

    • Mini-SAS cable included: 1M mini-SAS cable (included) is required for use with SATA/SAS 6Gb/s drives due to signal integrity requirements, longer cable lengths are not supported. When using SATA/SAS 3Gb/s drives, longer cable lengths (sold separately) can be used and are available here.
    • external mini-SAS: Windows with external mini-SAS via 3rd party controller card interface, (not included). external mini-SAS requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP.
