| MobileSTOR MS12X6+BHG - 12 Bay
6G SAS/SATA PCIe 2.0 x8 RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50 Expander Tower (Black)
|
OVERVIEW
The MobileSTOR
MS12X6+BHG is
a 12 bay 6G RAID storage tower for high capacity storage
solutions. The MS12X6+BHG 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 MS12X6+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 twelve hard drives 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 RAID
controller card, mini-SAS cable, and hard drive tray
modules. The MS12X6+BHG supports SATA and SAS drives,
allowing users the option to choose between high
performance and high capacity storage solutions.
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 bundled RAID Controller.
-
Supports 6G SAS and 6G SATA Technology -
Supports both latest 6G SAS and SATA Drives.
-
High Performance PCIe 2.0 x8 RAID controller card -
Package includes a PCIe 2.0 x8 RAID-on-Chip RAID controller, supporting up
to RAID 5/6/50. Dedicated Hardware RAID engines provide RAID calculation
offloading from the main computer to the controller's process, providing
overall higher performance.
-
Superior Performance -
With support of SATA 6G or SAS 6G hard drives and 24Gbps of data bandwidth,
performance can reach over 1000MB/s in Read and Write.
-
Advance Feature Included -
Hot-Spare hard drive, Auto-rebuilding, Online RAID Migration, Online
Capacity Expansion are supported.
-
Web based GUI for management and Monitoring -
Built-in web based GUI for setup and monitoring allow management of the RAID
status using a web-browser. Detailed event information is saved in an event
log and critical events can be e-mailed using SMTP. All management and
monitoring can run on any web browser with remote monitoring.
-
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.
-
Scalability -
Supports up to 5 enclosures or up to 120 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 can be used for capacity
oriented storage such as disk-to-disk backup, data-archiving, and digital
video editing. Enterprise level SAS drives can be employed for I/O intensive
applications such as transactional databases.

-
Build-in hot-swappble cooling fan
and carrying handle.
-
All Hardware Included -
Bundled with the 6G SAS/SATA RAID controller, Mini-SAS cable, cooling fan,
and tray modules.
