EonStor DS S12/S16/S24 Series Hardware Manual

1 Introduction

1.1

Product Overview

This chapter introduces the EonStor DS S12/ S16 /S24 series, RAID/JBOD system

supporting, 3Gb/s, 6Gb/s SAS or Serial ATA (3Gbps SATA-II) drive interface. The 2U/

3U/ 4U enclosure is designed to contain twelve, sixteen and twenty-four 3.5” disk

drives, respectively. Drive capacity can be expanded by attaching drive enclosures

(JBODs).

1.1.1
