MobileSTOR MS12X6+ - 12 Bay SATA/SAS
to 6G SAS Expander JBOD Enclosure (Silver)
|
OVERVIEW
The MobileSTOR MS12X6+ series is a 12 bay
mini-SAS SAS expander tower comprised of the same
engines as the AccuSTOR / EliteSTOR enterprise level
rackmount storage. Utilizing the same engine structure
as the enterprise level rackmounts, the MobileSTOR
utilize SAS expander technology, and provides up to 24
Gb/s or 2400MB/s of data bandwidth to fulfill the most
demanding application. The MS12X6+ supports both SATA or
SAS 6Gb/s solid state drives and hard drives and is
backward compatible to 3Gbps SAS & SATA SSD and HDDs.
By utilizing the latest SAS expander technology, the
MS12X6+ supports up to 12 SAS or SATA drives using only
one mini-SAS cable. A built-in SAS expansion port
enables the system to connect up to 5 units or 40 HDD
drives daisy-chained together. With a high performance
RAID controller card such as Areca, ATTO, Highpoint and
LSI 6G RAID controller, the MS12X6+ is capable of
delivering over 1500MB/s in read/write performance with
RAID controller, doubling the existing 3G SAS expander
bandwidth. Drives status information is provided by the
LED. All necessary hardware comes standard including
mini-SAS cable, hot-swappable cooling fan, and hard
drives tray modules. The MS12X6+ is an ideal storage
expansion solution for servers or high performance video
editing workstations.
Note: Sans Digital recommends the use of
enterprise hard drives when in use with any RAID
controller applications. Standard desktop or green
desktop drive may not be supported and may compromise
RAID system stability and performance. For more
information on the difference between RAID and desktop
hard drives, please see the Western
Digital knowledge base. For a list of compatible

FEATURES
- 6G SAS Expander Technology - Connect 12 SAS or SATA drives with
only one SFF-8088 to 8088 Mini-.SAS cable to HBA (Host Bus Adapter) or RAID
Controller.
- Superior Performance - With support of SATA 6G or SAS 6G hard
drives and 24Gb/s of data bandwidth, performance can reach over 1500MB/s in
read/write, when using with RAID controller.
- Staggering Spin-Up - Built-in staggering spin-up for hard drives
during power up. Thus, extending the life / duty cycle of the hard drives
and power supply.
- Support Industry Standard SGPIO - Serial General Purpose
Input/Output (SGPIO) is utilized to provide the hard drives health &
enclosure real-time information via the mini-SAS connection cable to the HBA
(host Bus Adapter) without additional serial cable.
- Scalability - Supports up to 5 enclosures or up to 60 hard drives
daisy-chained together for capacity expansion.
- Multi-purposes - Supports both SAS (Serial SCSI) and 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.
- All hardware are included - Mini-SAS cable, cooling fan, tray
modules and build-in mounting rail are included. By connecting to a SAS
controller and hard drives will instantly increase the storage space.
- Build-in hot-swappable cooling fan and carrying handle
- Wide Range RAID Adapters Support - Compatible with Areca, ATTO,
Adaptec, Highpoint, HP, Intel and LSI SAS RAID Adapters.
