The Addonics RAID Rack is a family of Rackmount chassis with built-in Port Multipliers and removable drive systems for easy addition and removal of hard drives. Comes bundled with all the connecting cables to attach to your system, these RAID Racks are designed to accommodate as many as twenty SATA hard drives in 3.5" or 2.5" form factor, for a total storage capacity of a whopping 40TB per Rack using today's largest 2TB hard drive! It is an ideal storage solution for video storage, storage farm or any applications that require a high capacity reliable storage system.
You can start your RAID Rack with as little as one hard drive and expand by adding more hard drives as your storage requirement grows. Depending on the model, the 20 hard drives are set up as 4 RAID groups that connect to the system with 4 eSATA cables or a single Multilane cable. There is also choice of models with hot swappable redundant power supply for mission critical applications.
