*New* RS-Series RS436X12-07
4U 36 Bay SAS Expander JBOD with Redundant Power Supply
|
|
RS-Series RS436X12-07 is a 4U, 36-bay 12Gb/s SAS JBOD rackmount storage enclosure designed for high-capacity, high-performance storage expansion. Built on the latest 12G SAS expander technology, the RS436X12-07 delivers up to 48Gb/s (4,800MB/s) of data bandwidth, making it ideal for demanding enterprise, server, and professional media workflows.
The system supports up to 36 hot-swappable 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs at 12Gb/s, and is fully backward compatible with 6Gb/s SAS and SATA drives. With the advanced 12G SAS expander, all 36 drives can be connected using a single HD mini-SAS (SFF-8644) cable, simplifying deployment while maximizing performance. A built-in SAS expansion port allows the RS436X12-07 to be daisy-chained with up to 256 total drives, providing exceptional scalability for growing storage environments. When paired with high-performance RAID controllers such as Areca 12G RAID controllers, Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID, Intel, or Dell PERC, the RS436X12-07 can deliver over 3,000MB/s sustained read and write performance, effectively doubling the bandwidth of traditional 6G SAS solutions. System status is easily monitored through front-panel LEDs, including drive activity and failure indicators, as well as cooling fan status. The enclosure ships fully equipped with HD mini-SAS (SFF-8644) cables, hot-swap drive trays, and rackmount slide rails, ensuring quick and easy installation. The RS436X12-07 is an ideal storage expansion solution for enterprise servers, virtualization environments, backup systems, and high-performance video editing workstations. NEW: DataBolt™ Technology RS-Series 12G SAS expanders feature DataBolt™ technology, enabling existing 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS or SATA hard drives and SSDs to take advantage of 12Gb/s performance. DataBolt™ intelligently buffers and aggregates data from lower-speed drives into a 12Gb/s data stream, delivering over a 50% performance increase compared to standard 6G configurations. This technology is fully compliant with the 12Gb/s SAS T10 specification and is exclusive to 12G SAS expander solutions. Note: Sans Digital strongly recommends the use of enterprise-class hard drives when deploying RAID controller-based storage solutions. Desktop or “green” drives may not be supported and can negatively impact RAID stability and performance. For additional details on RAID-compatible drives, please refer to the Western Digital knowledge base and Sans Digital’s official compatibility list. |
