FlashDisk® SATA Expandable SX-2300 Series

Low Cost Tiered SAS/SATA Storage Solution - Expandable to 60 TB
Integrated Primary and Secondary Storage - RAID 6 Data Protection

FlashDisk SX-2300 Series disk arrays with 12--drive, 2U exnclosures provide a tiered storage solution with low extry price and less expensive expansion increments. It supports high performance SAS disks and high capacity SATA disks in separate shelves. SAS and SATA shelves are combined to create an integrated and tiered storage solution in an expandable architecture. Available for SAS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel hosts, it provides up to 60 TB with high performance, ASIC-based RAID 6 data protection at low cost.

The base unit contains single or dual redundant controllers with mirrored cache and supports up to 4 expansion shelves and up to 60 total disk drives. SAS disk are available up to 300 GB with 15K rpm for the highest performance and up to 400 GB with 10K rpm for the best price/performance value. SATA disks are available with up to 1 TB capacity for storage intensive applications including backup, snapshot, archive, disaster recovery, virtual tape library, data acquisition, imaging, video and audio.

The FlashDisk SX-2300 Series with up to 4 SAS or Fibre Channel ports supports two hosts with single or dual redundant connections.

RAID 6 provides dual parity for large arrays to protect against two drive failures and to help ensure that critical disk rebuilds after a drive failure are successful.
