EliteSTOR ES328X6R - 3U 28 Bay 6G SAS/SATA SAS Dual SAS Expander High Density Storage Expansion
Item# KT-ES328X6R

The EliteSTOR ES328X6R is a 3U 6G based SAS expander expansion enclosure that fit 28 drives in only 3U space. Hosting sixteen (16) in the front and twelve (12) at the back, this high density design allow increase your storage foot print, while saving your valuable rack space. Build with dual SAS expander configuration, server connecting to ES328X6R can expands using a standard or high availability configuration. Design with green computing in mind, ES328X6R features energy efficient redundant 1620W Platinum Level power supply and temperature control cooling fan. Supporting Areca, ATTO, Dell, Intel and LSI RAID controller card or non-RAID host bus adapter HBA, ES328X6R support hardware RAID using RAID controller card, or software, operating system based disk protection scheme using HBA. System status can be monitor using in-band SES from the RAID or HBA controller card. Build-in expansion ports for storage expansion, as well as supporting SAS and SATA (single path mode only), ES328X6R will be an ideal solution for any storage demanding requirements.

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. For more information on the difference between RAID and desktop hard drives, please see the Western Digital knowledge base. For a list of compatible RAID Edition SATA hard drives, please CLICK HERE.

  • 6G SAS Expander Technology - Connect 28 SAS or SATA drives with only one SFF-8088 to 8088 Mini-.SAS cable for single path or two for high availability configuration.
  • Dual SAS expander- Build-in dual SAS expander. Servers can connection using one connection for simple expansion, or dual connection for high availability configuration.
  • High Availability Support - Compatible with LSI SAS MegaRAID Syncro for hardware high availability. Also compatible with dual path storage requirements in Windows or Linux platform.
  • Superior Performance - Support of SATA 6G or SAS 6G hard drives and 24Gb/s or 2,400MB/s bandwidth.
  • Green Computing - Build-in redundant 1620W Platinum Level power supplies and temperature controlled cooling fan.
  • Support Industry Standard SGPIO and SES - Serial General Purpose Input/Output (SGPIO) is utilized to provide the hard drives health & enclosure real-time information via the mini-SAS connection cable to the HBA and RAID controller without additional serial cable.
  • Scalability - Build-in storage expansion port for expansion using ES328X6R.
  • Wide Range RAID Adapters Support - Compatible with Areca, ATTO, Dell Perc Controller, LSI SAS MegaRAID and Intel SAS RAID.
  • Multi-purposes - Supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA hard drives to meet the requirements of various application with different price/performance characteristics. Cost-effective SATA drives could be used for capacity orientated storage such as disk-to-disk backup, data-archiving, and digital video editing. Enterprise level SAS drives could be utilized for I/O intensive applications such as transactional databases.
  • Platinum Level High-efficiency Redundant Power Supply - Platinum level high-efficiency 1620W hot-swappable redundant power supply is included for protection against power failure. Power supply status can be easily monitored by the status LED and audible alarm alert.
  • All accessories are included - Mini-SAS cable, cooling fan, tray modules and quick release, tool-less mounting rail are included. By connecting to a SAS controller and hard drives will instantly increase the storage space.
