SyneRAID6™-8/12/16SSA/FSA Specifications

SyneRAID6™-SATA series are standard 19" Rackmount 8/12/16-Bay SCSI/Fibre-to-SATA disk array RAID subsystems with low profile, ultra condensed, totally modular and cable-less design with various data storage applications for fast-growing SAN and NAS environments. These units offer incredible cost-effective data storage solution for the clients ranging from small business to departmental and enterprise level.

SyneRAID6™-SATA series are high performance, incredibility reliable, considerably available with scalability to greater capacity in a cost-effective manner. They utilize the new generation of Serial ATA 1.0 channels for disk drives and offer two different types of host interface, Ultra320 SCSI or 2Gbps Fibre Channel as DAS (Direct Attached Storage).

When properly configured and implemented, they can provide non-stop data access with a high degree level of fault-tolerance utilizing RAID technology and advanced array management features.

SyneRAID6™-SATA series offer 8/12/16 SATA drives bay with two Ultra320 SCSI host interface, in 2U or 3U height 19" Rackmount chassis. The RAID controller is equipped with a high performance Intel IOP80321 Xscale processor along with intelligent cache system supporting up to 1GB DDR ECC memory. These units benefit from the advance algorithms to provide RAID level 0, 1,3, 5 and RAID6 to provide higher degree of data protection, parity redundancy and consequently higher availability.

SyneRAID6™-SATA series can offer a performance up to 150 MB/sec with utilization of new generation of Serial ATA drives. Terabytes of data bank can be built with less compatibility problems. With redundant and hot-swappable power supplies and cooling system, components failure do not effect and interrupt the data access services and availability.

SyneRAID6™-SATA series also offer Web-base GUI embedded management and configurations utilities via on-board Ethernet port providing a convenient way to configure and monitor the RAID subsystem locally and remotely. The SNMP feature also create additional alerting in larger network through local LAN or over IP.
