FlashDisk^® Turbo SATA SA-3000 Series

4 Gb Fibre Channel interface doubles storage performance and supports RAID 6 for the highest reliability and scalability

FlashDisk SATA SA-3000 series provides up to 12 TB of low-cost storage using high performance, lower cost Serial ATA drives. It supports dual host interfaces - Ultra320 SCSI or 4 Gb Fibre Channel for the ultimate in speed, capacity, and reliability. Both models offer RAID 6 for added data protection and can sustain two drive failures in an array without loss of data. Ideal for users who work with large data files and want to take advantage of cost-efficient Serial ATA drives without risking data loss due to multiple drive failures.
