AccuRAID AR424X6R - 4U 24 Bay 6G SATA/SAS to 6G SAS RAID 6 Redundant Controller Rackmount

The AccuRAID AR424X6R Series is a 4U 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 AR424X6R provides a high availibility storage solution in mission criticial applications. It is capable of up to 480TB of capacity with additional AS424X6R JBOD storage expansion units, and is the perfect solution for applications requiring large storage spaces. With an industry proven quad channel 6G SAS host interface, the AR424X6R provids high performance bandwidth and cutting edge SAS and SATA hard drive technology (SATA hard drives require optional MUX board for redundant controller). 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 AR424X6R is built with Web or RS232 management Interfaces along with SMTP manager monitioring all system events. The AR424X6R 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: Please allow 3 days for rackmount testing before shipment.
