The EliteSTOR ES108X6+B is a 1U SAS 6G JBOD rackmount for high capacity storage solution, with 2.5" form factor. Utilizing the latest 6G SAS expander technology, the ES108X6+B provides over 24Gb/s or 2400MB/s of bandwidth to fulfill the most demanding application. The ES108X6+B supports 2.5" SATA or SAS 6Gb/s hard drives or SSD and is backward compatible to 3Gb/s SAS & SATA hard drives.  By utilizing the latest SAS expander technology, the ES108X6+B supports up to 8 * 2.5" SAS or SATA drives using only one mini-SAS cable. A built-in SAS expansion port enables the system to connect up to 5 units or 40 HDD drives daisy-chained together. With a high performance RAID controller card such as Areca ARC-1882X or LSI 9285-8E, the ES108X6+B is capable of delivering over 1700MB/s in read and 1500MB/s write performance, doubling the existing 3G 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 cable, hard drives tray modules and built-in mounting rail. The ES108X6+B is an ideal storage expansion solution for servers or high performance video editing workstations. 

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.
