The
AN12L+B is a performance tuned Windows/MAC/Linux files sharing NAS server dual Gigabit server for high capacity share data storage. Much more advanced than most 12-bay network share + iSCSI towers on the market, the AN12L+B utilizes the power of Intel CPU and 4GB of DDR III memory, to provide exceptionally fast performance. With increased CPU processing power, the AN12L+B is capable of providing enterprise-level features such as iSCSI initiator and target support, snapshot with scheduling, and real-time folder-to-folder replication. Along with built-in RAID 5 and 6, the AN12L+B provides enterprise-class features that are normally not included in product of such price range.
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.
