Ultra-high Performance

With its all-new hardware architecture and leveraging Intel® Xeon®​processor, 12Gb SAS 3.0 backplane, built-in 10GbE LAN, and the finely-tuned SANOS 4.0’s performance, the AccuRAID 5 series can deliver an astounding 12,000MB/s sequential read and 8,000MB/s sequential write in throughput and over 1.5 million sequential IOPS.
* Benchmarked with 16GB Memory (2 x 8GB) in two different banks, IOmeter utility, 512KB I/O size, non-cache hit, 128 queue depths, and 26 x 12Gb SAS SSD drives.
**The number is derived from sequential, non-cache hit, small I/O size (4KB) using 12Gb SAS SSD drives.
