6Gb/s SAS to SAS RAID Controller
The SAS to SAS 6Gb/s RAID controller provides 6Gb/s SAS host interface link to the host board on the server system. This RAID controller utilizes the same RAID kernel that has been field-proven in existing internal/external SATA/SAS RAID controller products, allowing to bring stable and reliable SAS RAID external subsystem. The SAS to SAS 6Gb/s RAID controller provides for 2U/3U/4U rack-mounted external storage chassis capable of accommodating up to 12/16/24 6.0-Gb/s, Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) drives or 6.0-Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) drives.
