FlashDisk® SAS/SATA Expandable SX-1300 Series

Tiered 2.5” & 3.5” SAS/SATA Storage Solution - Expandable to 65.7 TB
Supports Virtualization with High Speed, Low Power and RAID 6 Protection

FlashDisk SX-1300 features 2.5” disks for high speed, low power and small form factor in an expandable architecture. It offers a tiered storage solution that includes 3.5” disks. The SX-1300 supports high performance SAS disks and high capacity SATA disks in separate 1U, 2U and 3U shelves. It contains single or dual redundant controllers with mirrored cache and up to 4 expansion shelves, 72 disk drives and 65.7 TB for SAS and Fibre Channel hosts.

The SX-1300 supports four tiers of storage on one set of RAID controllers: Tier 1+ near solid state disk performance for database hot files; Tier 1 for high speed primary storage; Tier 2 for enterprise applications; Tier 3 for high capacity backup and archives.

Virtual servers and databases require enterprise class performance. The 2.5” disk drives are 30% faster than 3.5” disks. SAS disk are available up to 450 GB at 15K rpm for the highest performance and up to 400 GB at 10K rpm for the best price/performance value.

Storage intensive applications including backup, snapshot, archive, disaster recovery, virtual tape library, data acquisition, imaging, video and audio require inexpensive secondary storage. The SX-1300 offers 3.5” disks, 7.2k rpm, up to 1 TB each, with SAS or SATA interfaces for capacity intensive applications.

RAID 6 with dual parity, powered by high speed ASICs, delivers vastly superior reliability while sustaining full performance for both SAS and SATA shelves. RAID 6 protects against two drive failures and helps ensure successful disk rebuilds.
