With compatible interface connectors, the drive bays also support SATA-II (Serial ATA) disk drives. The 16-bay model comes with up to four (4) 4Gbit/s host channels and sixteen (16) hot-swappable SAS/SATA disk drives in a 3U chassis. The subsystem is powered by Infortrend’s proprietary ASIC400 RAID engine, which features expanded bandwidth and RAID6 configurations. The RAID controller comes with a pre-installed memory buffer of up to 2GB in size for transient handling of I/Os.

Each 4Gbit/s channel is capable of delivering data at the speed of 400MB/s. An onboard hub (bypass) can be used to connect the corresponding FC channels on partner controllers together to facilitate fault-tolerant connections. A common backplane provides fault-tolerant data paths across dual-ported SAS disk drives (over two separate SAS domains).

The subsystem is ideal for high performance and high availability storage applications, and is highly scalable via a 4x multi-lane SAS expansion port. Terabytes of expansion capacity can be added via the SAS 4-PHY SFF-8470 expansion links to expansion enclosures.

Data cached in memory is protected by a Li-Ion battery backup unit (BBU) that comes with an embedded EEPROM for storing BBU service data. If the one-year life expectancy of a BBU is reached, system administrators will be notified by event messages. The BBU is independently accessible and hot-replaceable.

Two (2) cooling modules protect the subsystem from overheating, and two (2) hot-swappable power supply unit (PSU) modules ensure constant power to the subsystem. The modular design of the subsystem ensures the ease of subsystem maintenance.
