2U 24-Bay SSD EBOD
Cost-Effective Enterprise-Class JBOD
2U (24) 2.5” Drive Enclosures
RAID Inc's 2U EBOD is a purpose-built storage solution designed for mid-level storage application utilizing the latest 6G SAS architecture with ability to scale in capacity simply.
Data storage capacity continues to expand, but the need to provide higher performance tiered storage within that growing capacity is also needed. Today’s business environment requires simple, easy ways to grow capacity as well as providing performance and scalability on demand.
This 2U 24-Bay Storage Expansion Array enables 2.5" SAS/SATA hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state disk (SSD) device connections via standard serial attached SCSI (SAS 2.0) protocol with enclosure services linked via SES firmware. It offers best-in-class performance, space saving density, “green” energy efficiency and 24x7 high-availability redundancy of key components.
