The RS-Series RS8X12 series is an 8 bay mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) SAS expander tower utilizing the same 12G SAS expander technology used in RS rackmount series, AccuSTOR and EliteSTOR series. The RS-Series RS8X12 provides up to 48 Gb/s or 4,800MB/s of data bandwidth for incredibly fast throughput. The RS8X12 supports both SATA 6Gb/s or SAS 6Gb/s and 12Gb/s solid state drives and hard drives and is backwards compatible with 3Gb/s SAS & SATA SSD and HDDs. The RS8X12 can support up to 8 SAS or SATA drives using only a single mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) cable. A built-in SAS expansion port enables the system to connect up to 8 units or 64 drives daisy-chained together. With a high performance RAID controller card such as Areca, ATTO, Dell, Highpoint, HP, Intel and LSI / Broadcom 6G and 12G RAID controller, the RS8X12 is capable of delivering over 3,000MB/s in read/write performance with RAID controller, doubling the existing 6G SAS expander bandwidth. Drives status information is provided by the LED via SGPIO SES support for drives activity and error status management. All necessary hardware comes standard including mini-SAS HD cable, hot-swappable cooling fan, and hard drives tray modules. The RS8X12 is an ideal storage expansion solution for servers or high performance video editing workstations.
