The 
EliteSTOR ES316X6+BHP is a 3U 16 bay 6G RAID storage rackmount for   high capacity storage solutions. The ES316X6+BHP is bundled with a   high-performance dual core RAID controller card that offloads complicated RAID   calculations from the computer or the enclosure to the dedicated RAID engine.   High performance can be achieved with a lower cost of ownership compared to RAID   embedded subsystems.  RAID setup and maintainence can be controlled via built-in   Web Browser interfaces, and the unit is supportive of e-mail notications and   SNMP trap. Utilizing high bandwidth 2400MB/s mini-SAS (SFF-8088) cabling,   the ES316X6+BHP supports SAS or SATA hard drives to deliver superior read /   write speeds that are crucial in performance-driven environments such as   the video editing industry. The mini-SAS connection combines sixteen hard drive   connections into a single cables, reducing possible points of failures while   preserving uninterrupted data transfer. A built-in SAS expansion port enables   the system to connect up to 5 units or 120 HDD drives daisy-chained   together. System status information such as the hard drive, power supply, and   cooling fan status are provided by the LED. All necessary hardware comes   standard including the mini-SAS cable, hard drive tray modules and built-in   mounting rail. The ES316X6+BHP also supports SATA drives, allowing users the   option to choose between high performance and high capacity storage   solutions.
  
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.
