ALNICO AL-9241S-N New !

| Datasheet  
24 bays 4U Rackmount 6Gb SAS to 6Gb SAS/SATA RAID Subsystem
The AL-9241SN is PetaStor's innovative 6Gb/s SAS host,RAID subsystem, utilizing two miniSAS 4 x 6Gb/s SAS for host connectivity in a 4U 24-bay chassis supporting 6Gb/s SAS or SATA drives. Alnico 9 Series 6Gb SAS to SAS RAID subsystem is supporting single controller mode only and not able to upgrade to support dual & redundant controller mode .

With JBOD enclosures ( SAS 2.0 Expander) supporting up to 122 SAS/SATA devices connected, Alnico 9 is scalable to provide over two hundred terabyte gigantic storage capacity without performance sacrifice.

Alnico 9 Series is PetaStor's revolutionary product with breakthrough performance over previous Alnico RAID Series. Driven by new generation storage processor, Alnico 9 RAID Series is capable of delivering more than 1,800 Mb/s data throughput by a single RAID controller that is two to three times better than any other Alnico Series can achieve. The robust performance makes Alnico 9 a perfect new choice for applications that call for extreme I/O or high data transfer, at the same time the excellent price-performance of Alnico 9 gives customers the best rewardability with budget-friendly affordability.
