This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 17, 2009 at 3:25 pmEnhance Technology announced support on the latest Hitachi GST Ultrastar 2TB 7200RPM hard disks (HDDs) to enhance the performance of its storage systems and populated storage solutions.
Storage capacities are now increased to 16TB on the 8-disk desktop and rackmount storage arrays and as much as 32TB on its flagship 16-disk UltraStor Professional Storage Systems which is expandable to 160TB through SAS storage expansion.
As hard disk manufacturers continue to develop higher capacity hard disks at lower cost per GB for storage, Enhance Technology works closely with major hard disk manufacturers from Fujitsu (acquired by Toshiba), Hitachi, Seagate, and Western Digital to ensure the highest compatibility between hard drives and storage systems. As a leader in data storage subsystems, Enhance Technology was among the first group of technology partners to receive the new Hitachi 2TB HDDs when they were released. Based on the laboratory test results, the new Hitachi 2TB HDDs tested with Enhance’s JBOD and RAID storage systems yielded an impressive 20% Read/Write performance increment. It reduces the power consumption for the same capacity with 25% more storage spaces than 1.5TB HDDs.
Enhance Technology took the initiative right from the start to test Hitachi Ultrastar 2TB HDDs with its complete product lines, and all the efforts were done to ensure high performance, reliability, and customer confidence across all of the Enhance JBOD, RAID and SAN storage solutions. With extensive engineering and product development history, friendly and knowledgeable technical support team, and our commitment to provide the highest quality in storage products, customers can rely on Enhance Technology for the most up to date, high performance and compatible storage device with a peace of mind.
Enhance Technology’s storage systems populated with Hitachi 2TB HDDs will not only increase data storage capacity but it will also reduce the cost of storage ownership while boosting the computing and data processing performance.
