SAS Host -to- SATA RAID SUBSYSTEM

Storage-FT-1603-SSA

FT-1603-SSA is intended to be an alternative choice to the SCSI-to-SATA RAID system. It is to address the challenges of : Stable Bus Connectivity, Low-Cost, Good Enough Performance, Large and Scalable capacity.


SAS Connectivity Advantages over SCSI

  • Better Cabling resulting better signal integrity and longer cable allowed
  • Native support Greater than 2TB per volume even for Linux/BSD/Unix/MAC, besides Windows. On the other hand, SCSI model is having problem doing that for non-Windows OS.
  • Allow capacity expansion by using the 1-to-4 Octopus SAS cable to aggregate multiple RAID boxes. On the other hand, daisy-chaining multiple SCSI boxes will be come extremely unstable.
  • Allow performance aggregation by using the 1-to-4 Octopus SAS cable to aggregate multiple RAID boxes and Stripe them in the OS

Typical Applications

Storage-SB-3163-S3A3

  • Archiving applications and Security DVR applications. Because this type of applications requires a very stable data stream flow, a lots of capacity at a very affordable price point, but do not need super fast performance.

Features & Benefits

  • OS Independent & Transparent
  • Support Two Servers/Applications Failover Clustering by providing dual SAS ports to hosts
  • Single-Piece & Cableless Backplane Design
  • Unique 1-to-4 Octopus SAS cable allows a single 8088 SAS connector to connect up to 4 RAID units.
