RocketRAID 4300 Enterprise SAS Series
SAS 15K-RPM hard drives are ideal for mission-critical server and storage solutions, where system availability and reliability are of utmost importance. SAS hard drives offer unrivaled performance, reliability and innovation for enterprise applications. SAS hard drives set the standard for e-business and real-time commerce infrastructure computing.
SAS provides the highest sequential and IOPS performance for Enterprise Mission Critical storage offering lasting value ensuring systems can keep up with growing performance needs over a longer period of time.
SAS can scale to 128 devices in a single domain. A SAS infrastructure can easily support a multitude of SATA drive with a single SAS controller port. As more SATA drives and SAS RAID backplanes are added to a storage enclosure, SAS expanders on those backplanes can seamlessly cascaded together. Requiring only a minimal number of ports on the HBA, and with more ports available on the expanders, a SAS infrastructure becomes increasingly cost effective as the number of drives rises.
Connectivity for multiple device types lowers TCO, gives flexibility to specify best drive for intended use: SAS for transactional/online performance and reliability, SATA for bulk storage and backup/restore duties. The SAS/SATA value proposition is simple: SAS hard drives deliver the speed, reliability and scalability demanded in high availability enterprise environments, while high-capacity SATA drives are ideal for bulk storage applications with low cost per GB capacity.
The advantages of SAS/SATA compatibility benefit every sector of the storage landscape, from the SMB with modest needs (and budgets to match) to vast Fortune 100 enterprises with a complex mix of transactional and reference data storage requirements. System builders and integrators have been quick to recognize the unique blend of performance, capacity and flexibility advantages of SAS.
