    Hard Drives The StorTrends 3200 Storage Appliance Chassis features 16 slots for SAS/SATA drives. These drives are hot swappable. In other words, once setup correctly, these drives can be removed without powering down the server. In addition, these drives support SES2 (SAS/SATA).

  • Page 14: Chipset Overview

    The 5000P MCH chipset is designed for symmetric multiprocessing across two independent front side bus interfaces. Each front side bus uses a 64-bit wide, 1333 MHz data bus that transfers data at 10.7 GB/sec. (for a total bandwidth of 21.3GB/sec). The MCH chipset connects up to eight Fully Buffered DIMM modules, providing a total memory bandwidth of 32 GB/s for DDR2 533/667.
