3TB Hitachi 5,700rpm HDD Available at Nexsan

Nexsan Corporation announced the availability of 3TB Hitachi 5700 RPM drives as an option for all Nexsan E-Series storage systems.

Enhanced with Hitachi’s CoolSpin technology, Hitachi’s 5700 RPM 3TB drives run cooler and are energy efficient to complement Nexsan’s AutoMAID power savings technology. Combined with E-Series storage systems, the new high capacity drives are for digital video storage (DVS), disk-to-disk backup and archival applications.

The 3TB Hitachi drives provide capacity and feature CoolSpin technology to deliver a greater level of power savings and quiet operation for efficiency minded IT environments. With low power, high capacity and cool operation, the 3.5-inch drives allow Nexsan to deliver higher density, eco-friendly storage. The drives deliver sequential performance, making them for applications that include data protection, archival storage and digital video.

E-Series SAN storage systems are the foundation of Nexsan’s Flexible storage Platform and contain anywhere from 14 to 60 drives per chassis in a small footprint. Nexsan disk arrays can be increased in capacity, up to 360TB, with an additional expansion unit holding up to 60 drives in 4U. Efficiency, reliability and ease-of-use are enhanced by features including Active Drawer Technology, Anti-vibration Design, Cool Drive Technology and AutoMAID Technology, which delivers up to 87% power savings compared to alternative storage systems. All SAN storage systems can be configured with dual active/active controllers and battery-backed cache for high throughput and no-single-point-of-failure.
