Overview
Direct Attached Storage (DAS) Systems like the LINDY
SAS/SATA 19" Storage Enclosures series provide the highest
performance and the easiest way to expand the storage capacity
of a server which has no remaining space for further internal
hard drives. Direct Attached Storage (DAS) does not require any
further operating systems or appliances to provide storage to a
server. Any Software can access files on this storage and there
are no restrictions such as those known for Network Attached
Storage (NAS) i.e. in connection with MS SQL databases.
The LINDY SAS/SATA Storage Systems connect to the server
via the most up to date, high bandwidth MiniSAS interface that
English
transmits data with the true speed of the hard disk drives without
introducing any bottlenecks. A single MiniSAS cable contains 4
channels and connects up to 4 hard disk drives. It connects
either to a SAS or SATA Multilane controller either on the
motherboard or an additional PCI/PCIe controller card installed in
the server. The controller configures the drives as a RAID array
with features depending on the properties and settings of the
controller.
The enclosures are available with either 4, 8 or 16 SAS/SATA
3.5" HDD lockable trays with corresponding 1x, 2x or 4x MiniSAS
SFF8088 interfaces. When used with SAS Expanders these
storage systems can be extended up to 80 or more hard disk
drives connected to a single controller.
The enclosures are equipped with a fan and overheating control
system. If a fan fails or if the temperature exceeds 55° C / 130° F
an acoustic alarm and front panel LED alarm will be raised to
highlight the problem. This alarm can be reset by a push button
on the front panel.
The enclosures are equipped with IPC-grade Power Supplies.
For redundant power versions please contact our support team.
