|
The AccuSTOR AS212X12P series is a high density 2U rackmount designed for storage hungry applications, and accommodates up to 168TB of storage space. Supported by 12G SAS Expander technology, AS212X12P provide 12G solution for over 4,800MB/s bandwidth for data transfer. By utilizing the latest SAS expander technology, the AS212X12P supports up to 12 drives using only one mini-SAS HD cable. A built-in SAS expansion port enables the system to connect up to 7 units or 84 HDD drives daisy-chained together. With a high performance RAID controller card, the AS212X12P is capable of delivering over 2300MB/s in read and 2000MB/s write performance, doubling the existing 6G SAS expander bandwidth. System status information is provided by the LED, including hard drives, power supply and cooling fan status. All necessary hardware comes standard including mini-SAS HD cable and hard drives tray modules. Build-in with single controller with 3x 12G SAS channel, and can upgrade to redundant controller in the future. The AS212X12P is an ideal storage expansion solution for servers or high performance video editing workstations. Supported in Windows, MAC and Linux, including various file system such as ZFS.
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.

- 12G SAS Expander Technology - Connect 12 drives with only one single SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 Mini-SAS HD cable to HBA (Host Bus Adapter) or RAID controllers.
- Support 2.5" and 3.5" SATA/SAS/SSD - 12 of 3.5" hard drives tray supporting 3.5" hard drives, along with 2.5" form factor screw holes.
- Superior Performance - With 4 lanes 12Gb/s = 48Gb/s bandwidth, performance can reach over 2,300MB/s in read and 2,000MB/s in write (tested with Broadcom, LSI, ATTO and Areca Controllers).
- 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 HD connection cable to the HBA (host Bus Adapter) without additional serial cable.
- Scalability - Supports up to 7 enclosures or up to 84 hard drives daisy-chained together for capacity expansion.
- Multi-purposes - Supports 6G SATA hard drives or SSD 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.
- Standard Redundant Power Supply - Hot-swappable, redundant power is included for protection against power failure. Power supply status can be easily monitored by the status LED and audible alarm alert.
- All hardware is included - Mini-SAS HD cable, cooling fan, and tray modules are included. By connecting to a SAS controller and hard drives will instantly increase the storage space.
- Wide Range RAID Adapters Support - Compatible with Areca, Broadcom LSI SAS MegaRAID, Intel SAS RAID, Adaptec SAS RAID, and ATTO SAS RAID adapters.
