AN-616S6S : Support Single Controller only
16 bays 3U Rackmount 6Gb SAS to 6Gb SAS/SATA RAID Subsystem
 |
The AN-616S6N is PetaStor’s innovative 6Gb/s SAS host, it supports single controller mode, utilizing two miniSAS 4 x 6Gb/s SAS for host connectivity in a 3U 16-bay chassis supporting 6Gb/s SAS or SATA drives. |
With JBOD enclosures ( SAS 2.0 Expander) supporting up to 122 SAS/SATA devices connected, AN-612S6N is scalable to provide over two hundred terabyte gigantic storage capacity without performance sacrifice.
Alnico AN-6 Series is PetaStor’s revolutionary product with breakthrough performance over previous Alnico RAID Series. Driven by new generation storage processor, AN-6 RAID Series is capable of delivering more than 1,800 Mb/s data throughput by a single RAID controller that is two to three times better than any other Alnico Series can achieve. The robust performance makes AN-6 series a perfect new choice for applications that call for extreme I/O or high data transfer, at the same time the excellent price-performance of AN-612S6N gives customers the best rewardability with budget-friendly affordability.
