FlashDisk® SAN-In-A-Box™ SA-3400 Series

High Performance Enterprise SATA Disk Array With 2nd Generation superior RAID 6 data protection SA-3400 Series High Performance Enterprise SATA Disk Array with 2nd Generation RAID 6 Data Protection

FlashDisk SAN-In-A-Box provides up to 16 TB of storage using the latest high performance, lower cost SATA II drives and a choice of SCSI, Fibre Channel, or iSCSI RAID disk array host interfaces. This data storage hardware supports up to eight host ports and is ideal for demanding high performance applications such as database, OLTP, multimedia, video-on-demand, web services as well as high capacity secondary storage.

RAID 6 data protection provides dual parity to protect against two drive failures and to help ensure that critical disk rebuilds after a drive failure are successful - especially important with today’s large arrays. RAID 6 dual parity offers 500 to 30,000 times longer MTDL (Mean Time To Data Loss) than RAID 5. FlashDisk RAID 6 with data storage hardware ASICs delivers higher speed than competitive RAID 5 systems.
