PSS-8161F - 3U 16 Bay Fibre to SAS/SATA II RAID

The Area PSS-8161F RAID subsystems features two 4 Gb Fibre/two miniSAS 4 x 3Gb SAS host and SAS device attachment. PSS-8161F series takes data reliability and protection for Hosts and offers a advanced technology to implement the extreme performance RAID6 function.

SAS builds on parallel SCSI by providing higher performance, improving data availability, and simplifying system design. The SAS interface supports both SAS disk drivers for data-intensive applications, and serial ATA( SATA) drivers for low-cost bulk storage of reference data. The PSS-8161F can support up to 16 SAS ports to solid backplane and via one external miniSAS 4 x connector for easy expansion, making it an ideal solution for enterprise-class storage applications that call for maximum configuration flexibility.
