AccuRAID AR316X6R - 3U 16 Bay 6G SATA/SAS to 6G SAS RAID 6 Redundant Controller Rackmount

Overview


The AccuRAID AR316X6R Series is a 3U redundant controller rack-mountable RAID solution designed for data centers, file servers, backup, audio/video streaming, and digital video recording. With redundant components including a controller, cooling fan and power supply, the AR316X6R provides a high availibility storage solution in mission criticial applications.  It is capable of up to 336TB of capacity with additional AS316X6R JBOD storage expansion units, and is the perfect solution for applications requiring large storage spaces. With an industry proven dual channel 6G SAS host interface, the AR316X6R provids high performance bandwidth and cutting edge SAS and SATA hard drive technology. The array supports RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 3,  5, 6, 30, 50, 60 and JBOD modes. Featuring durable, heavy duty steel housing and a user-friendly LCD panel, the AR316X6R is built with Web or RS232 management Interfaces along with SMTP manager monitioring all system events. The AR316X6R is an easy to use building block for a large storage systems, and is guaranteed to achieve the most cost-effective performance and data protection.

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.
