SharqStor DS 2120

Overview

The SharqStor DS 2120 is a 2U SCSI to SATA RAID array subsystem designed for connection to a host SCSI bus. The DS 2120 is perfect for entry level direct attached storage applications such as file-and-print and disk-to-disk backup.

  • 2U Chassis
  • 12 SATA-II Drive Bays
  • Dual Ultra 320 SCSI Ports

The subsystem provides two SCSI-320 host channels with 12 drive bays for SATA-II disk drives in a smartly managed enclosure. The subsystem combines massive storage capacity with SATA-II benefits, such as high performance and dedicated bandwidth, in a safe environment where the highest level of data availability is assured. High throughput is available by segregating I/O traffic across the separate PCI-X buses, while IOPS performance is delivered through the internal buffer on the XOR engine and CPU with the help of intelligent firmware algorithms.
